How to make Mango toast with hazelnut-pepita butter

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (fan) / 160°C (conventional).

2. Toast the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking tray, tossing once, until golden brown, 20–25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, toast the pumpkin seeds on a separate baking tray, tossing once, until they just begin to brown in spots and are very fragrant, 14–16 minutes.

4. Allow the hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds to cool.

5. Purée the cooled nuts and seeds in a food processor until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as necessary. This will take several minutes.

6. Taste the hazelnut–pumpkin seed butter and season with kosher salt to your liking.

7. Finely grind the blueberries, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of kosher salt in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.

8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the toast and spread 2 tablespoons of the hazelnut–pumpkin seed butter on each slice.

9. Top the toast with mango slices, then drizzle with honey and a little oil.

10. Sprinkle the blueberry–red pepper mixture and a pinch of sea salt on top before serving.
