Roasted Garlic and Bacon Guacamole

This guacamole is creamy, slightly spicy, made with roasted garlic and bacon and absolutely no one has ever been able to resist it!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 head of garlic
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3 strips bacon (roughly chopped into 1/2" pieces)
• 2 tablespoons sweet yellow onion (minced)
• 3 avocados (pits removed)
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about 1 lime's worth)
• 1 handful fresh cilantro (about 1/4 cup chopped small)
• 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice off the top of the garlic head and place it in the center of a piece of foil. Drizzle with oil and wrap the foil around it. Roast for about 45 - 60 minutes, until the garlic is soft and squishy when you squeeze it gently through the foil. Remove from the oven, unwrap and let cool.
2. 2While the garlic is roasting, start cooking the bacon on the stove. When the bacon is almost done, add the onion and cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until it is tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. 3Place the avocados in a bowl with the roasted garlic cloves (they should easily squeeze out of the head of garlic) and mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher. Add the lime juice and the cayenne and mash the mixture until it is the consistency you like. I preferred it with some small chunks still remaining.
4. 4Stir in the onion and the bacon. Taste and add salt as needed, 1/4 teaspoon worked for me. Enjoy!
