Crispy Curried Lentil & Spinach Avocado Toast

A 500-calorie Brunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 4 slices low-carb bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 cup cooked brown lentils
• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prep: Toast the low-carb bread slices until golden and crispy (either in a toaster, oven, or air fryer).
2. While the bread toasts, mash the avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked brown lentils with curry powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the curried lentils and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisped.
5. Add the fresh spinach to the pan with the lentils and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
6. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted low-carb bread slices.
7. Top the avocado toast generously with the warm crispy curried lentils and spinach mixture.
8. Top tip: For extra crunch, lightly toast the curried lentils in a dry pan after cooking them with olive oil.
