Mango Toast with Hazelnut-Pepita Butter

Ingredients for Mango Toast with Hazelnut-Pepita Butter

• 150g blanched hazelnuts

• 150g raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• Kosher salt

• 60ml freeze-dried blueberries

• 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

• Vegan honey (for serving)

• Flaky sea salt

• A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Preheat oven to 149°C. 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 tablespoons oil and spread 2 tablespoons hazelnut–pumpkin seed butter over each. Top with mango; drizzle with honey and oil. Sprinkle with blueberry–red pepper mixture and sea salt.
