Bacon guacamole is loaded with crispy bacon, sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, and delicious roasted garlic. We love to eat this guac in the fall and winter when we're craving a heartier guacamole recipe.

Ingredients
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 5 cloves garlic unpeeled
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 trips Bacon sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 3 ripe avocados peeled and seed removed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ cup lime juice from 2 limes
- ¼ cup each: minced red onion and cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Toss the cherry tomatoes and unpeeled garlic cloves with the olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Put them into your oven and roast for 30 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, cook the bacon until crispy in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the avocados, salt, cumin, and lime juice to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of their skins and add them to the bowl. Mix everything together until the avocados and roasted garlic are mashed well.
- Reserve a few roasted tomatoes and some bacon to garnish. Mix the remaining roasted tomatoes, bacon, red onion, and cilantro into the guacamole.
- Serve the guacamole topped with the reserved roasted tomatoes and bacon.

Notes
- Make ahead bacon guacamole
- If you're planning to make this for friends, you can roast the tomatoes and garlic and crisp the bacon several hours beforehand. Keep them covered in your fridge until you're ready to make the guac. If you're garnishing the top with some bacon, warm it gently to melt the fat that will be on the bacon - it will look prettier.
