Crispy Split Pea Avocado Toast

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup green split peas
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1  piece whole wheat bread (gluten free if desired)
• 1  avocado
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. In a medium bowl, cover the split peas with water. Let soak for at least 2 hours before making the avocado toast.
2. After the split peas have soaked, heat a small skillet with the olive oil over medium high heat.
3. Drain the split peas and add them to the preheated pan. Saute until crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
4. While split peas are cooking, toast the bread and scoop out the avocado. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt/pepper to taste.
5. Stir half of the split pea mixture into the avocado mixture. Spread on the toast and top with remaining split peas.
