Roasted Garlic Guacamole with a Hint of Lime Juice
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 lime
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Squeeze the juice of the lime over the avocados to prevent browning.
- Add the roasted garlic cloves to the bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
- Stir in the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno, and cumin. Mix well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the guacamole with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent air exposure, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the roasted garlic guacamole with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos. Enjoy!
