🕒 Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 small lime (juiced)
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- 1 small tomato (diced)
- 2 tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Guacamole
- Cut open the avocados, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and mash until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Add lime juice, garlic, diced tomato, red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Pro Tip: Adding lime not only boosts flavor but also helps keep your guac from turning brown.
Step 2: Toast the Bread
- Lightly toast each bread slice until golden and crisp.
- Let them cool slightly so the guacamole spreads smoothly.
Step 3: Spread the Green Goblin Base
- Generously spread the guacamole onto each slice of toast.
- Make sure the surface is fully covered — this is your goblin’s green face!
Step 4: Create Goblin Faces
- Use cucumber slices topped with olive pieces for spooky eyes.
- Cut cherry tomatoes or red bell peppers into curved shapes for mouths — some smiling, some scary!
- Add carrot sticks or celery as ears, horns, or even crazy hair.
- Arrange each toast with a unique expression — silly, scary, or grumpy goblins!
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Place the Goblin Guac Toasts on a platter.
- Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and most vibrant colors.
Pro Tips for the Best Goblin Guac Toasts:
- Make Ahead: You can chop your veggie decorations in advance, but prepare the guacamole just before serving to keep it fresh and green.
- Kid-Friendly Fun: Let kids decorate their own goblin faces — it turns snack time into an activity!
- Bread Choices: Sourdough or rye adds more flavor, but any bread works. For a gluten-free option, use GF bread slices or rice cakes.
