Beetroot Toast

If you love vibrant and creative meals, this beetroot toast recipe is for you. At Ahimsa Plant Kitchen, I enjoy making plant-based dishes that are nourishing, colorful, and playful. This beetroot toast combines creamy spreads, fresh bread, and earthy beetroot for a snack, breakfast, or brunch. Each slice feels special and thoughtfully prepared.

What makes this toast extra special is how I fill the smooth spread into a piping bag. By piping the mixture, I can create elegant swirls, little peaks, or neat layers. This step turns the toast into a miniature work of art. Next, I top it with thin beetroot slices. Then, I add seeds, microgreens, or herbs for texture and freshness. The natural sweetness of roasted beetroot pairs wonderfully with the creamy spread.

This recipe takes a little time, but the process is part of the joy. While preparing each layer carefully, you can experiment with patterns and colors. Additionally, taking the time to pipe the spread makes the final toast feel thoughtful and satisfying.

Beetroot toast works beautifully for any mealtime. For example, you can enjoy it with a fresh salad for lunch or serve it as a colorful appetizer at brunch. Moreover, it is a snack that feels indulgent yet nourishing. Every bite is packed with flavor and wholesome ingredients. Finally, piping the spread transforms a simple toast into a shareable dish that brings joy and creativity to your kitchen.

BEETROOT TOAST

This fancy plant-based toast is made with a smooth and silky beetroot-tofu spread served on crispy sourdough. It can be made with silken tofu for a creamy texture or regular tofu for a firmer spread. You don’t need to fill the mixture into a piping bag, but it looks really impressive, so I definitely recommend it. You can use a small food processor or blender, however I find the mixture gets much smoother if you use a blender.
