Mango Toast with Hazelnut-Pepita Butter
Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched hazelnuts
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds pepitas
- kosher salt
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried blueberries or substitute for 2 tablespoons of raw sugar
- 2 teaspoons mild red pepper flakes such as Aleppo-style or Urfa pepper
- 4 slices sourdough bread toasted
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 large ripe mangoes peeled sliced
- honey for serving
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet tossing once, until golden brown, 20–25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast pumpkin seeds on a separate baking sheet, tossing once, until just beginning to brown in a few spots and very fragrant, 14–16 minutes.
- Let hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds cool. Purée in a food processor until a smooth paste forms (this will take several minutes and you will need to scrape down sides a few times.) Taste and season hazelnut–pumpkin seed butter with kosher salt.
- Finely grind blueberries, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of kosher salt in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Drizzle toast with 2 Tbsp. oil and spread 2 Tbsp. hazelnut–pumpkin seed butter over each. Top with mango; drizzle with honey and oil. Sprinkle with blueberry–red pepper mixture and sea salt.
