Roasted Garlic and Chia Guacamole Recipe - Eat Thrive Glow

Hooray for spring! We are celebrating the season by creating this creamy, dreamy, vibrant green guacamole recipe with roasted garlic and chia seeds!

If you haven’t tried roasting a bulb of garlic in the oven before, you’re in for some fun. Just cut the top of the garlic bulb off, leaving the surface of the cloves exposed. Drizzle some olive oil over it, wrap it in some aluminum foil, and bake it in the oven. Voila! Roasted garlic has a gentler flavor than its raw counterpart, with a hint of sweetness. The garlic becomes thick and creamy when roasted, which makes it perfect for our guacamole recipe!

Just add a touch of fragrant lime zest and a sprinkle of chia seeds to turn this guacamole up a notch. This is officially the best guacamole we’ve ever tasted! And that’s saying a lot, coming from two Texans. We know our guacamole.

Roasted Garlic and Chia Guacamole notes:

-This guacamole is a great dip for chips and sliced veggies, such as carrots and radishes.
-To remove the garlic from the cloves after it has finished roasting, let the garlic cool and simply squeeze the cloves. The garlic will come right out.

  4. I’m with you until the chia seeds – enlighten me, what do they do to the guacamole? I ask because I’ve got a bag of chia seeds wasting away in my pantry courtesy of my daughter and I’m trying to think of ways to use them that don’t involve smoothies:) I’m not a total curmudgeon – I do love the roasted garlic and can definitely see that taking guacamole up a notch.

    • Hi Laura, the chia seeds boost the nutritional value of the guacamole. You can’t really taste them, so it’s a great way to transform regular guac into superfood guac! Chia also transforms into bubble-like spheres when it’s added to liquids, so it adds an interesting texture to the guacamole 🙂

  5. I bought a giant bag of chia seeds on a whim and now I don’t know what to do with them! Thanks for the idea, this sounds great

  12. Absolutely, great post !!This looks so yummy and delicious too. I have never tried it yet but can’t wait now to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
