Tofu Beet Toast
A rosy, plant-based toast alternative made with beets and tofu—easy to prep, easier to love
Servings 4 servings
Calories 172kcal
Equipment
- Knife and cutting board
- Toaster
- piping bag Optional, for garnish
Ingredients
- 3 cooked beets about 1 standard pack
- 1 block extra-firm tofu pressed
- 2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- juice of 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½–1 tbsp olive oil
- bread of choice toasted
Optional toppings:
- ¼ cup pine nuts lightly toasted
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill or mint
- freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Add the cooked beets, tofu, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- While the spread blends, toast your favorite bread until golden and crisp. Choose something sturdy enough to hold the creamy spread—sourdough, rye, or a hearty gluten-free slice all work well.
- Spoon or pipe the beet spread generously over the toast. If you’re feeling fancy, use a piping bag to swirl it on for extra flair.
- Sprinkle with pine nuts, a few sprigs of dill or mint, and a final crack of black pepper. Serve right away while the toast is warm and the spread is cool and mousse-like.
