• 3 ripe avocados
• 1 head of garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• Salt to taste
• Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a little heat)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Step 2: Cut the top off the head of garlic, exposing the tops of the cloves.

Step 3: Drizzle the exposed garlic with olive oil, ensuring it gets into all the crevices.

Step 4: Wrap the garlic head loosely in the foil.

Step 5: Place the wrapped garlic on the prepared baking sheet.

1. Roast the Garlic: Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the cloves are completely soft and easily pierced with a fork. The garlic should be fragrant and slightly browned.
2. Cool the Garlic: Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once it’s cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the head.
3. Mash the Garlic: Place the roasted garlic cloves in a small bowl and mash them into a smooth paste using the back of a fork.
4. Prepare the Avocados: While the garlic is cooling, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
5. Mash the Avocados: Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocados to your desired consistency. Some people prefer a smooth guacamole, while others like it chunky.
6. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed roasted garlic paste, lime juice, and chopped cilantro to the mashed avocados.
7. Season: Season with salt to taste. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
8. Mix Well: Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the guacamole watery.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the Roasted Garlic Guacamole immediately with warm tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole if you’re not serving it right away.
