Name: Mashed Avocado Rice Cakes
Ingredients: 1 large, ripe Hass Avocado: The star of the show. A ripe Hass avocado is essential for a creamy, rich, and buttery texture. It should yield to gentle pressure but not feel mushy.; 4 Brown Rice Cakes: This is our crunchy, gluten-free canvas. Brown rice cakes offer a nuttier flavor and a bit more fiber than their white rice counterparts, providing a satisfyingly crisp base.; 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice: This is a non-negotiable flavor booster and a natural preservative. The acidity cuts through the richness of the avocado, brightens the overall taste, and helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.; ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt (or to taste): The fundamental flavor enhancer. Sea salt brings out the subtle, nutty notes of the avocado and balances the tang of the lime.; ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground): For a touch of gentle spice. Freshly ground pepper provides a more potent and aromatic kick than pre-ground varieties.; 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning: The secret weapon for an explosion of flavor and texture. This magical blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt flakes adds a savory, garlicky crunch that makes these rice cakes truly addictive.

Instructions

Creating this delightful snack is a simple, three-step process that requires no cooking and minimal cleanup. Follow these instructions for perfect results every time.

Prepare the Avocado Mash: Carefully slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop the green flesh out of the skin and into a medium-sized bowl. Add the fresh lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper directly into the bowl with the avocado.
Mash to Perfection: Using the back of a fork, gently mash the avocado against the sides of the bowl. Aim for a rustic, slightly chunky texture. You want some smooth, creamy parts mixed with small, satisfying pieces of avocado. Avoid over-mashing or using a food processor, as this can result in a gummy, paste-like consistency. The fork method ensures the perfect texture.
Assemble and Garnish: Arrange your four brown rice cakes on a plate or cutting board. Generously divide the mashed avocado mixture evenly among the cakes, spreading it from edge to edge with a knife or the back of a spoon. To finish, sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning liberally over the top of the avocado on each rice cake. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch.
