Tahini Toast is a simple yet nourishing Ramadan recipe that works beautifully for both suhoor and iftar. Tahini, made from ground sesame seeds, is rich in healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals, making it an energy-sustaining ingredient during fasting.
This recipe offers two delicious variations. The sweet version combines tahini with honey and fresh fruits, creating a naturally sweet and creamy toast that feels indulgent yet wholesome. Nuts and seeds add crunch and nutritional balance. The savoury variation highlights tahini’s earthy depth with fresh vegetables, olive oil, and herbs. A squeeze of lemon brightens the flavours, making it refreshing after a long fast.
Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
