Bacon Guacamole with Roasted Garlic and Tomatoes

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

Bacon guacamole! Yes, my friends, this is a very real (and very delicious) thing. My favorite dip just married my all-time favorite food, and honestly, these two were always meant to be together.

This bacon guacamole has everything I love. Crispy, salty bacon adds big flavor, roasted cherry tomatoes bring little bursts of sweetness, and roasted garlic takes it over the top with its mellow, savory depth. It’s classic guacamole with a cozy fall-and-winter twist—and once you try it, I promise there’s no going back.

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.
