Description

Tahini Toasts are a simple, nutritious snack or breakfast option that combines creamy tahini with toasted bread. This easy-to-make recipe is a delightful mix of savory and nutty flavors, offering a rich and satisfying bite. You can top them with a variety of extras, like honey, fresh herbs, or seeds, to customize your taste. Great for a quick meal or snack, and perfect for those looking to add more plant-based fats to their diet!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (or your preferred bread)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread:
    Toast your bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Spread the Tahini:
    Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of tahini on top of each slice.
  3. Add Toppings:
    If you like a sweet contrast, drizzle honey on top of the tahini. For savory flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt, fresh ground pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
  4. Serve:
    Serve immediately while the toast is still warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added protein, you can sprinkle chia seeds or hemp seeds on top.
  • To make the tahini toast even richer, you can add some fresh cucumber slices, tomatoes, or avocado.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the tahini spread to suit your preference—thicker for a more intense flavor or thinner for a more subtle touch.
