Asparagus & Avocado Miso Toast: Quick & Tasty
Grilled asparagus served on creamy avocado toast with a drizzle of rich miso and tahini dressing—simple yet absolutely delicious! The combination of flavours and textures makes this dish incredibly satisfying, from the crunch of the asparagus to the smooth, umami-packed dressing. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate asparagus season while it lasts, making the most of this vibrant and nutritious vegetable.
Since asparagus season is quite short in the UK, I love finding different ways to enjoy it while it is at its best. Check out my asparagus recipe selection for more inspiration.
This toast is perfect for a quick lunch, a leisurely brunch, or even a light snack when you want something fresh and flavourful. The miso and tahini dressing pairs beautifully with grilled asparagus, but if you have any leftovers, try drizzling it over other roasted or grilled vegetables for an extra boost of flavour.
In the spring and early summer, I also like making my grilled asparagus salad, Broccoli Pasta with Miso Butter, or my asparagus bruschetta. In the autumn or winter, I often enjoy a bowl of this nourishing miso noodle soup.

How to make these asparagus & avocado miso toasts
While the asparagus are roasting in the oven, you can prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Packed with umami, the creamy dressing is made by whisking together miso, tahini, lemon juice and grated garlic.
One word of caution though! Do not add any additional salt as the miso makes the dressing already quite salty.
I use Yukata organic miso paste for the dressing. It is really tasty and versatile and works really well here. Any other yellow or white miso is of course suitable. If you are not sure about the taste, make the dressing with half the quantity of miso listed in the recipe below and add more as needed.
For the avocado toast, you can simply mash half an avocado on each slice of sourdough with a fork.
Toppings are optional but nice: chopped coriander, black sesame seeds, pink peppercorn and radishes. Enjoy!
