Ingredients

For the Asparagus

6 (130 grams) Stems of Fresh Asparagus medium size
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
pinch Sea Salt
A few grinds of Black Ground Pepper

For the Avocado

1 (228 grams) Ripe Avocado
1/2 Fresh Lime divided
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

For the Toast

2 Slices Multigrain Sourdough Sandwich Bread or Gluten Free Bread
4 Leaves Fresh Mint chiffonade, then chopped fine
Small Handful of Microgreens or Sprouts any variety (I used alfalfa)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F (204C). Trim the ends of the asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and toss it with your hands so that it covers the asparagus thoroughly. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes, rolling the asparagus over at least once during roasting, until the asparagus is soft (not mushy) and lightly charred. Once out of the oven cut the spears in half so that they fit on the bread.
Meanwhile, mash the avocado. Add 1/2 the lime juice, salt, and garlic. Mix well. Taste for seasoning adjustment.
Toast the bread.
Spread the avocado mixture over the toast, then add the asparagus, squeeze of lime, sprinkle the mint over the top, then add the microgreens or sprouts. If sharing with an egg, top the asparagus (see note)**.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the assembled toast.
Serve right away, while the asparagus is warm or you can prep the asparagus up to two days in advance, and share it chilled.
