Ingredients Needed for Air Fryer Avocado Toast

How to Make Air Fryer Avocado Toast
Step 1 Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
Step 2 Lightly brush each slice of bread with olive oil to help it crisp up in the air fryer. Or spray with avocado oil spray
Step 3 Place the slices of bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 4 While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the avocado. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
Recipe Tips
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
- Customize your avocado toast by adding any of the optional toppings such as cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, feta cheese, radish slices, or a poached egg for added protein.
- Other Topping Ideas: Enjoy your air fryer avocado toast immediately while it's fresh and crispy. Sprinkle some Trader Joe's Bagel Seasoning Recipe on the bread, add some Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs or make these delicious Air Fryer Roasted Tomatoes.
- Choose a ripe avocado: Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.
- Try different bread types: Whole grain or sourdough bread provides a nice texture contrast and adds more nutrients to your toast.
