Instructions
- Cook hash browns. Preheat your oven or air fryer and cook the frozen hash brown patties according to the package directions, usually about 20 minutes, until they turn crispy and golden brown.
- Prepare avocado spread. While the hash browns are cooking, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados into a bowl. Add red pepper flakes, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until the mixture is well combined but still retains some chunky texture.
- Assemble toasts. Once hash browns are cooked and crispy, place them on a serving plate. Spread an even layer of the smashed avocado mixture over each hash brown patty.
- Add toppings. Customize your toasts with your favorite optional toppings such as poached or fried eggs, sliced jalapeños, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, hot sauce, or fresh cilantro to add extra flavor and spice.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Smashed Avocado Hash Brown Toasts right away while the hash browns maintain their crispiness and warmth.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level to your preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the avocado spread.
- For a vegetarian option, omit eggs or replace with plant-based alternatives.
- Make sure to cook hash browns until they are very crispy to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Additional toppings can be customized based on availability and taste preferences.
