Beetroot Butter Avocado Toast is perfect for using up the many loaves of sourdough bread you might be baking. It’s smooth and creamy and spreads beautifully over toasted bread layered with slices of avocado, pickled red onions, and topped with microgreens. I’m drooling.
Meet your new favorite toast! How beautiful IS this? The color of the beet butter is so vibrant. Add the slices of avocado with pickled red onions.
The Beauty of Beets
You may already know that I have a beetroot obsession. The number one reason is the COLOR! I just can’t get over how vibrant and beautiful beets are. Just take a look at the color of this butter! Beets are high in nutrition and fiber and contain the following vitamins and minerals: (just to mention a few)
- Folate (vitamin B9)
- Manganese
- Potassium
- Iron
- Vitamin C
Beets can be eaten raw, roasted, boiled, and juiced. Beets are great shredded and “quick pickled” to top taco’s or these Bahn Mi Buns topped with an assortment of quick-pickled veggies. I add 1/2 cup cooked beet puree to my chocolate cake recipe. The puree makes the cake extremely moist. Join in the nutritious beet movement. Your body will thank you.

Layering the Beetroot Butter Avocado Toast
Spread thick sourdough bread slices with 2 tablespoons of beetroot butter. Layer with sliced avocados, pickled onions, and favorite seasonings. I’m love sprinkling my avocados with Dukkah, red pepper flakes, coarse sea salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Topped with a handful of microgreens.
You’re welcome.

Hi Janet, I was able to pin the recipe as well as your beet peach and avocado wrap but in a completely different way than usual. Meaning, usually when I click on the pin option of a recipe like yours, my assorted recipe boards on pinterest come up so I can put the recipe in the board I want it to go. but when trying to pin your beetroot butter avocado toast recipe and your wrap recipe, I kept getting a narrow pinterest window with the wording create board, instead. I was able to work around it eventually and finally saved your recipes to where I wanted them to be on my pinterest, but the procedure sure seemed odd compared to usual.
Anyway, all is well for now. Hopefully whatever that stubborn tiny glitch might be will resolve itself all by itself soon!
Hmmmmm. That is so weird. I’ll keep an eye on it and try to figure out what the problem is. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention.
Well Janet, I tried numerous times to pin your awesome beetroot butter avocado toast recipe but it just won’t work for me. I had no problem pinning your Kale Bowl with beets that also caught my eye but this particular beetroot butter avocado toast was a no go for some reason.
could just be a temporary glitch because it’s new perhaps? So will try again tomorrow.
You are right. Something is definitely up? I’m working on it. I have no idea what the problem is.
Now it’s working for me. I don’t know what was up, but I’m able to pin anything right now. Let me know if you still have a glitch.
