I’ve been meaning to share this recipe for the past year! It’s hands-down one of my FAVORITE avocado toast recipes.  Breakfast, lunch, AND dinner…this healthy, delicious recipe can and will be enjoyed by you anytime of day once you give it a try! Or at least it happened to me the first time I made it a year ago.

You may be wondering why I’ve waited so long to share this recipe if I was enjoying it without all of you a year ago…

Well, in the midst of all the holiday madness last year, I forgot to photograph it (while stuffing my face with this loaded avocado toast recipe) and pomegranate season had already ended. Since we have more than 30 pomegranates every year, I prefer not to buy them from the store.  As soon as my pomegranates came in this year, this recipe was the first thing I perfected. It started with the Sweet & Salty Oven Roasted Chickpeas recipe, which I shared with you a few weeks ago.

The combination of flavors and textures used for this avocado toast recipe are mind-blowing…

Creaminess of the avocados
Bitterness of the arugula leaves
Sweet & Salty oven roasted chickpeas
Sweet & Tart pomegranate seeds
Crispy toast

Tell me you’re not salivating yet!

This avocado toast recipe is easy to make, especially if you prep the Sweet & Salty Oven Roasted Chickpeas ahead of time. Unlike many avocado toast recipes where you find yourself hungry shortly after, this avocado toast will leave you full and satisfied. It’s healthy and packed with nutrition and whole ingredients. Pomegranates are also beautiful and fun to use in your cooking over the holidays.

If you have visiting family and friends and need a break in between all that cooking, throw some chickpeas in the oven and serve this festive, easy, quick, yet filling Loaded Avocado Toast Recipe with Roasted Chickpeas & Pomegranates for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner! You can also cut them in half and serve them as appetizers.

    This is the most festive avocado toast ever!! Between that and waiting for fresh pomegranates I can totally see why it needed to be saved until now. Plus with the carbs + fat + protein + fruits/veg it's like a perfect little self-contained snack/meal! Mmm I imagine all these flavors and textures are SO yummy together :)

    I usually have avocado toast with an egg for breakfast every day - delicious and the perfect blend of protein and healthy fats to keep me full until lunch. I'm going to try this version tomorrow to switch it up! Thanks for inspiring me!

    Except for the pomegranate I made his recipe to the tee. Very bland and the chickpeas kept rolling off my sandwich. Won't make again.

      Sorry to hear that! The combination of pomegranate, chickpeas, and avocado is the key to this toast recipe...the pomegranate adds a LOT of flavor to the curried chickpeas and is a main ingredient so it'll definitely be a difference in taste if you leave them out. And the chickpeas should have a lot of flavor...i Just made this myself last week again. Perhaps all the seasoning did not get mixed into the chickpeas prior to baking?
