Dukkah makes you giggle when you say it, but you’ll be smiling as you sprinkle this Egyptian spice blend on everything. Avocado Toast with Dukkah & Radishes is a delicious breakfast or snack any time of day!
I RECEIVED FREE SAMPLES OF WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS MENTIONED IN THIS POST. BY POSTING THIS RECIPE I AM ENTERING A RECIPE CONTEST SPONSORED BY WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS AND AM ELIGIBLE TO WIN PRIZES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTEST. I WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR MY TIME.
Dukkah is a traditional Egyptian spice blend. It’s an aromatic mixture of nuts and seeds that have been toasted and ground, then tossed with various spices. The smoky and salty spices with the complex richness of the nuts are pretty much addicting.
It’s typically sprinkled on bread dipped in olive oil, but I think it’s delicious on pretty much anything! Try it on veggies, pasta dishes, savory yogurt bowls, hummus, or as a spice rub on seafood and chicken. Of course, I think you should try this Avocado Toast with Dukkah & Radishes. 😉
If you google “Dukkah,” you’ll find 3-4 different way to spell it and hundreds of ways to make it. I chose to use pistachios as my “main” nut in this recipe. I love them because of their rich flavor, and the fact that they are one of the highest protein and fiber nut snacks. Pistachios are known as The Fit Nut™ for a reason! Scientific evidence suggests (but does not prove) that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
The pistachios combine with avocado and whole grain bread make this a fiber-rich dish. It’s perfect for breakfasts or a hearty snack. That fiber and protein combo keeps you feeling just the right amount of full all morning long!
You can experiment a bit with herbs and spices in this recipe. Try dried orange peel, thyme, turmeric, chili flakes… anything! Make sure you add the salt and pepper at the end to adjust for flavor.
I chose to finish my toast with flaky bits of sea salt. That fresh sprinkle of salt on top really makes the fresh avocado and radish flavors pop.
Pro tip: Dip any extra radishes in olive oil and then in the leftover dukkah. So. Good.

While I was making the dukkah, Vegas came into the kitchen and asked if I was making popcorn. Soooo… apparently it smells a little like popcorn?!
Have you ever had dukkah?
What’s your favorite way to top avocado toast?
Oooh I love how this sounds and it looks amazing!!! Need to get my hands on some dukkah!
Thanks! I’tt so easy to make at home!
This sounds so flavorful! I love pistachios, what a creative way to use them! I also just picked up a bunch of radishes. I forgot how good they are! I often over look them but they go great on avocado toast!
I forgot how much I love radishes too! So great just with some butter and salt too.
I love radishes on toast. They add just the right bite.
I love avocado toast but I never keep bread in my house so I don’t have it often. 🙁 I order it every time I get a chance there just something about avocados that makes me so happy. I’ve never heard of Dukkah but I love trying new spices it always adds another dimension to my food. Pistachios are so delicious, I can never eat just one, I usually eat the entire bag. Loving the addition of spicy radishes to this dish. Have a great week Laura.
We keep bread in the freezer (gluten-free, for Vegas). It makes it really easy to just have it occasionally – you don’t need to worry about wasting a whole loaf for one craving!
this is a fun twist on avocado toast! You know I am all over it great idea
And a vegan one! 😉
Dukkah (giggle) is such a wonderful combo spice – I bought some from Trader Joe’s and didn’t use it much – need to change that. And great way to eat radishes!
I’ve actually never had store-bought. I wonder how it compares…
I can’t believe I haven’t made avocado toast at home yet! I need to get on it.
Wait. Really?????
you know me and my love for Dukkah. BRING IT ON BRO! toast to you! 😉
I thought of you when I made this!!!
i keep hearing about this spice blend but never made it. im going to try making my own soon, most likely i have the ingredients on hand.
You would LOVE it!!! You can always change out things too – I bet your version would rock!
I love dukkah, nothing better than fresh warm bread, dipped into olive oil and then dukkah…. Mmmmmmm!
I have always bought it though so it would be great to try making my own. Love it on eggs!
Yasssss! With warm pita… mmmmmm!
Spicy, salty nuts are my favorite, but you already knew that.
I thought you liked buttery nuts?
I wouldn’t kick a buttery nut out of bed either.
Everyone’s got AVOCADO TOAST on the brain… I myself included as I told myself 2 days ago that I am going to make a “variation” for the blog nextttttt week! UM – I am going to film this on Friday morning or Saturday morning and YOU SHOULD FRIGGIN FILM WITH ME!
If I wasn’t packing up my WHOLE FUCKING HOUSE I would come film it.
P.S. What doing on Monday?
What a creative recipe! I’ve never had anything this one before, either. I love pistachios but always forget about them. They’re so bright and green! 🙂
I bet you’d love it! It’s so full of fresh spices.
Yummm, this is my kind of meal! I eat avocado just about every day in some way, and I love pistachios.
Me too! I will really miss that about SoCal.
