Avocado roses are all the rage right now. Take your avo toast to the next level with my 3 variations on avocado rose toast.Hey guys!
I’m back from my trip to Switzerland – it was absolutely incredible. Its beauty totally exceeded my expectations. I’ve got a few travel posts coming over the next few weeks to talk more about the trip but for now, a recipe! This month’s Recipe Redux theme is “Get your fruits and veggies in shape – show us how you’re serving the bounty of gardens and orchards in shapes like ribbons, noodles, cut-outs, or other creative cuts.” Now I don’t have a spiralizer (hoping to get one on my registry!) so veggie noodles were out of the picture. But then it hit me…the latest food photo trend…avocado roses! I’m sure you’ve seen them taking over your Insta feed.
I wanted to test it out for myself to see what all the hype is about. They’re super fun to make and I loved shooting them but to be totally honest, if it’s just me and no one else is watching, I’ll stick to smashed avocado toast to save time :).
If you want to try avocado rose toast, first watch this video by fellow food blogger Healthy Nibbles and Bits and then try these 3 avocado rose toast variations:
1. Fried Egg + Avocado Rose + Red Pepper Flakes + Sea Salt
2. Smoked salmon + Fresh Dill + Capers + Avocado Rose + Sea Salt + Black Pepper
3. Sliced Radishes + Avocado Rose + Ground Pink Peppercorns + Sea Salt
These avocado rose toast variations are delicious. Each has a unique flavor profile and the creamy avocado brings each one together. One of these would make a great snack or breakfast. I ate the smoked salmon and radish toast for lunch yesterday :). Avocados are a great source of healthy fat and over 20 different vitamins and minerals so get avocado rose’ing already.

Notes
Be sure to squeeze lemon juice on the avocados to prevent browning. I used olive oil on my surface, knife and spatula to keep the avocado roses from sticking.
Tell me, have you tried making avocado roses yet? What about avocado toast?
So pretty and fun! Would be gorgeous on a brunch table or if you have people over for breakfast. I’m with you though…if I’m on my own and no one is looking, I just smash it onto the toast too.
Haha yup! Smashing is so much easier 😉
My goodness, these are almost, almost too pretty to eat! (I love avocado too much to ever let it go, haha.) I want all of these in my life right now!
Thanks, Farrah! Haha almost 😉
First of all, what a great looking recipe! Secondly, they look delicious. Thanks for sharing how to make these avocado roses!
Thanks, Scott!
So pretty– and such yummy ideas here!
I have been seeing these all over IG and wonders how in the world they make them. Thanks for sharing! Totally going to try it out.
You’re welcome, Laura! Have fun!
What fun! Avocado roses… who knew? 🙂
Playing with your food is back in style 😉
I haven’t tried making a rose with my avocado yet but think it’s worth a shot! Looking forward to hearing more about your travels to Switzerland!
These are absolutely GORGEOUS. I am way too lazy for avocado roses, ha!
I’ve been wondering for awhile how the heck you make these – so cool! Love your avo toppings, too.
Thanks, Deanna! It was fun to experiment with 🙂
Those are so beautiful! I think the fried egg might be my favorite…love a good runny egg and avocado!
Thanks! I couldn’t agree with you more. Runny yolks make my life.
I first tried my hand at avocado roses after seeing Lisa’s video a few months ago. All 3 look amazing but that one with the fried egg is totally calling my name!
They’re fun, right?! Yes, I’m a firm believer that everything tastes better with a fried egg on top 😉
Gosh , those are just the prettiest little things! Definitely perfect for a shower or party!
Thanks, Rebecca! Yes! Definitely makes for some fun entertaining conversation too 🙂
Almost too pretty to eat…almost! 😉
Ha! Almost…
Love this! I will take one of each. 🙂 Absolutely gorgeous photos!
You got it, Maria! Thanks 🙂
I need to buy some avocados JUST to make these roses. So pretty!
Haha yes! Worth it.
Such a fun idea Kara! I think i’m going to be like you-try this once, then go back to the smash method 🙂 I loved all your Switzerland photos on Instagram-my husband and I got engaged in Montreaux, then went back there when I was pregnant with our daughter, so it has a special place in our hearts 🙂
Haha good plan :). I love that Switzerland holds such a special place in your heart, EA! So special. It is such a beautiful country.
These are gorgeous! I’ve been meaning to try making avocado roses.
Thanks, Jeanette! They’re fun to make!
