You could go plain with your avocado spread, but consider seasoning your avocado to spice things up. Spices that tend to pair well with avocado toast are salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, turmeric, Italian seasoning, and the classic everything bagel seasoning. If you want to take your toast a step further, consider adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to add some acidity.
- Choose your toppings

This is where you can really get creative with your toast. Try adding some proteins such as an egg, chickpeas, or cheese to boost the nutritional value as well as the flavor. You can also add your favorite fruits, vegetables, and spreads such as spicy honey or fig jam.
