]]>So, get ready to level up your guac game with (drumroll)… roasted garlic.
Roasting Your Way to Perfection
All you have to do is slice off the top of a whole garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle it with olive oil, wrap it up in foil, and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes until it’s soft and caramelized.
Later, when you’re mashing up some ripe avocados to make your guacamole, you just need to mash those golden nuggets too, and throw them in the mix.
The result will be a rich, flavorful variation of traditional guacamole that’ll make your inner chef proud. Think creamy avocado meets sweet, caramelized garlic—It’s definitely a match made in culinary heaven.
So, next time you’re whipping up a batch of guac for taco night or just the occasional Netflix binge, remember the roasted garlic trick. Your homemade guacamole will never be basic again.

]]>There are so many things to focus on when making guacamole: the seasonings, the onions, the tomatoes, you name it. As a result, it can sometimes lead you to forget about focusing on the most important thing of all: the avocado itself! Indeed, you may start mashing it when it’s not ripe enough, or perhaps too ripe.
(@eatinggilmore)These small mishaps can lead to bad texture in your guacamole, which will bring down its quality. It doesn’t matter how much salt or lemon you add at that point. If your avocado is bad, the guacamole’s texture will suffer as a result. When it comes to a perfect guac texture, you want to make sure it’s fresh but not hard, and also smooth but not runny. If you can do those things, the rest is a breeze!

]]>Prepping the Avocado
First off, make sure the avocado is ready. It’s ready if it’s no longer hard, but also not too mushy that it’s pretty much rotten. Mash up the avocado in a bowl so that it’s not too mushy and not too chunky either.
Adding Veggies and Seasonings
Now you’re going to want to add some other ingredients. This is where every guacamole recipe differs, but a popular move is to cut up tomatoes and onions and toss them in the bowl, mixing as you go. You’ll also want to add some seasonings. We’d recommend adding salt and pepper to taste, along with a dash of lemon juice.
Indeed, guacamole is one of those recipes that really evolves as you go and you’ll want to keep a close eye on how it’s tasting as you continue through the process. If it tastes good, it probably is good, so trust yourself!
