Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice off the top of the garlic head and place it in the center of a piece of foil. Drizzle with oil and wrap the foil around it. Roast for about 45 - 50 minutes, until the garlic is soft and squishy when you squeeze it gently through the foil. Remove from the oven, unwrap and let cool. *

While the garlic is roasting, start cooking the bacon on the stove. When the bacon is almost done, add the onion and cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until it is tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Place the avocados in a bowl with the roasted garlic cloves (they should easily squeeze out of the head of garlic) and mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher. Add the lime juice and the cayenne and mash the mixture until it is the consistency you like. You can leave some small chunks.

Stir in the onion and the bacon, as well as the chopped roasted red pepper. Taste and add salt as needed.
