Roasted Garlic and Basil Guacamole
I am a big fan of non-traditional guacamole. Avocados are so versatile and I don’t think we give them enough credit. I decided to make guacamole with basically the complete opposite flavor of traditional guacamole. We had gotten some delicious tomatoes, basil and goat cheese from our farmer’s market and I decided that I wanted to combine those flavors for the guacamole. I also decided to use some roasted garlic because it lends a sweet garlic flavor instead of a “kill a vampire” flavor.
The combination turned out absolutely amazing and really is a perfect seasonal dip. It may take your senses a second to realize it isn’t the traditional flavor but it is so worth trying!

- Preheat the oven to 375. Cut the tips of the garlic cloves and combine them in the middle of a sheet of parchment paper and drizzle with oil and salt.
- Pull up the sides of the paper and twist the top to create a pocket around the cloves. Roast the cloves for about 25 minutes or until garlic is soft. Let them cool and then pop them out of the skins and chop.
- Combine the avocado, garlic, and basil in a bowl and smash the avocado in to large chunks.
- Add the salt and continue to smash until desired consistency.
- Mix in the tomato and goat cheese right before serving.
