• 4 large plain rice cakes Shop
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes Shop
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the avocado topping by halving the ripe avocado, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, salt, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Mash these ingredients together with a fork until mostly smooth but with some small chunks remaining, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be creamy and fragrant.
2. 2 Gently stir in the chopped fresh cilantro, if using, for an added burst of freshness. Taste the avocado mixture and adjust the salt or red pepper flakes if needed, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
3. 3 Arrange the four plain rice cakes on a clean serving plate or a cutting board. Ensure they are stable and ready to be topped.
4. 4 Generously spread the prepared avocado mixture evenly over the surface of each rice cake. Aim for a thick, even layer that covers the entire rice cake, about 5-7 minutes of assembly time.
5. 5 Serve the gluten-free rice cakes with avocado immediately to enjoy their crisp texture and fresh flavors. This snack is best enjoyed right after preparation.

Tips & Notes

• Top the rice cakes just before eating. They soften quickly under the avocado.
• Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving a few chunks for texture.
