Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Hass avocado
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium, finely diced (optional) Jalapeño pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the garlic cloves on a small sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle them with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap them tightly in the foil.
Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden. Allow them to cool slightly before peeling.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocados with a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mashed avocado to prevent browning and to add a fresh, tangy flavor.
Peel the roasted garlic cloves and mash them into a paste using the back of a fork, then stir the roasted garlic paste into the mashed avocado.
Add the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and optional jalapeño pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Season the guacamole with salt and ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the dip to minimize air exposure.
Let the guacamole rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
