Start by halving the avocados and removing the seeds. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the smoked tempeh slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the tempeh is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until crispy and golden to your liking.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each toasted bread slice.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them evenly on top of the avocado spread.
Add two slices of the cooked smoked tempeh onto each toast.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with red chili flakes for an extra kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Avocado Toast with Smoked Tempeh!
