Description

This healthy butter bean toast is a combo of toasty sourdough, topped with vegan ricotta, pesto and spicy garlic butter beans.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 34 tbsp vegan pesto (I make my own pesto using the recipe here)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup butter beans
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Handful of parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 slice sourdough bread or Ezekiel bread
  • Vegan ricotta (love Kite Hill vegan ricotta)

Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil into a pan, and heat on medium heat. Once shimmering, add in the pesto, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the garlic becomes transparent, then add in the butter beans. Continue cooking until the beans are piping hot, about 2 minutes. Lastly, stir in the parsley and adjust for seasoning. 
  2. To serve, toast a slice of sourdough bread, spread a generous layer of vegan ricotta over top, followed by a generous scoop of the pesto butter beans. I like to top my toast with an extra squeeze of lemon and oregano buds. 

Notes

I like to cook the pesto into the butter beans, but feel free to leave it out and spread it on the toast as pictured; both versions taste amazing!
