I didn't think there could ever be an improvement on avocado toast, but my friend I think we've accomplished it! Say hello to the perfect afternoon snack, Avocado Crispbreads - they're super crunchy, slightly nutty, and hold up to LOTS of toppings!!
These Gluten Free Avocado Crispbreads were made in partnership with Wasa! We received compensation and product in exchange for it. Opinions are always our own. If we don’t love it, you don’t hear about it. Thanks for your continued support!
Afternoons have a tendency to get a bit hectic around here! I always seem to be on the go with the kids running them from place to place which means providing healthy, wholesome snacks can get a little tricky if I'm not prepared. That's why I keep these Wasa gluten free crispbreads on hand at all times! These crunchier than crackers crispbreads are super sturdy meaning we can pile them high with whatever toppings our hearts desire and they keep their crunch to the very last bite. These babies even hold up to being assembled ahead of time, which means I can assemble them, pack them up, and head out to seize the day without having to stress about hanger creeping in and setting us up for bad eating decisions...and by bad eating decisions I totally mean impromptu visits to the drive thru!
What is a Wasa Crispbread exactly?
Crispbread has been baked in Sweden by Wasa since 1919, and is now available in over 40 countries around the world. The crispbread dates back to medieval times when it was baked in Sweden and Finland to preserve the crop over the long and cold winters. Traditionally, crispbread is made from rye which is a grain that contains gluten, but Wasa has added 2 gluten free flavors to their line up. Wasa Gluten Free Original which is made with a blend of potato starch, amaranth flour, and rice flour and Wasa Gluten Free Sesame and Sea Salt which has sesame seeds added to the ingredient list as well.
Here are a few of my family's favorite ways to top our avocado crispbreads!
SAVORY || Wasa Sesame and Sea Salt Crispbreads, avocado, smashed with a squeeze of lime, carrot, green onion, and crispy everything bagel quinoa.
How to make crispy quinoa in the oven. || Whenever we have leftover quinoa I make crispy quinoa for topping salads and sprinkling on everything from crispbreads to hummus. As the liquid cooks out of the quinoa in the oven the quinoa shrinks down to about half its size and turns golden brown.
Combine 1 cup cooked quinoa, ½ tablespoon everything bagel spice, and ½ tablespoon olive oil on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Roast in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool, quinoa will crisp up even more as it cools. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
SPICY || Wasa Gluten Free Original, sliced avocado, squeeze of lime, citrus pickled onions, fresh and pickled jalapeño slices, aleppo pepper, roasted pepitas, and green onion.
How to make citrus pickled onions. || Say hello to my go-to taco topping!! These citrus pickled onions only require 2 ingredients and about 20 minutes for slightly tangy pickles with a bit of bite. If left overnight in the fridge these pickles will become incredibly tender and will turn bright pink!
Use a mandolin or a very sharp knife to thinly slice 1 peeled red onion. Layer the onion slices in a jar then cover with freshly squeezed lime juice. Place a lid on the jar and shake vigorously. Allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving or store in the fridge up to 1 week.
SWEET || Wasa Gluten Free Original, blueberry lavender jam whipped cream, sliced avocado, fresh berries, bee pollen, and hemp hearts.
How to make jam flavored whipped creams .|| Jam flavored whipped cream was an a-ha moment in my kitchen! I use this purple hued whipped cream for covering cakes and dipping fruit as well as slathering crispbreads.
In a large mixing bowl combine 1 heaping tablespoon sized scoop of your favorite jam and 1 cup very cold heavy whipping cream. Whip until stiff peaks form. Can be stored in the fridge for 1-2 days but you may need to rewhip before serving.
