🛒 INGREDIENTS

• 4 thin slices of pumpkin (or butternut squash), peeled
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 hard-boiled or soft-boiled egg, if preferred
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• A few cherry tomatoes, halved
• (Optional) A squeeze of lemon or lime juice

👩🍳 PREPARATION

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the pumpkin slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the slices are tender and lightly browned at the edges.
3. While the pumpkin roasts, mash half of the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using. Thinly slice the other half of the avocado.
4. Once the pumpkin slices have cooled slightly, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each one.
5. Top your toasts with the fresh avocado slices, half a boiled egg, and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh, colorful finish.

💡 Vitalicious Tip:
Roast a whole pumpkin or squash at the beginning of the week. You can use the tender slices for quick toasts, add cubes to salads, or blend them into soups for easy, healthy meals all week long.
