Hummus & Avocado Toast Snacks

HUMMUS AND AVOCADO TOASTS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES


Makes 6 – 8 party bites

Ingredients:
6-8 slices of bread (gluten-free, whole wheat, etc.)
1/2 cup hummus (store bought or homemade)
1 avocado – halved, pitted and peeled
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, cores and seeds removed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
salt + pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.


Directions:
Arrange the tomatoes on your baking sheet, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the tomatoes are beginning to caramelize.

While the tomatoes roast, toast your bread. Using a cookie cutter or circular object, cut out 1-2 circles per toast, depending on how big the piece of bread is.

Spread ½-1 tablespoon of hummus on each circular toast.

In a bowl or plate, mash avocado with a fork, leaving large chunks.

Layer the mashed avocado over hummus, season with salt + pepper, and then top with a roasted [or fresh] tomato.

Serve immediately.
Optional: top with goat cheese or feta or serve on the side.
