    Tasty guacamole full of roasted tomatillos & jalapeños for extra flavor and nutrients.

    Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole

    Cinco de Mayo is Sunday, so here's a delicious guacamole recipe for you!

    Basic guac is hard to beat.

    Just a few simple ingredients: avocados, lime juice, jalapeños, cilantro, and salt.

    Sometimes I want a little something extra though.

    'Tis why I added in tomatillos to help stretch the guacamole a little more. Helps me save money (avocados can get a little pricey), and it adds extra nutrients and flavor!

    Everyone wins.

    Tomatillos are funny little things. You can usually find them next to the tomatoes or the peppers in your grocery store's produce section.

    You want to get the ones that still have the husk pretty tightly wrapped around the tomatillo and you want them to be firm & on the smaller side. And make sure you don't buy green tomatoes. Those are totally different.

    Tomatillos last for a few weeks in the fridge.

    They are strangely sticky when you remove the husks, but don't be alarmed by this - it's totally normal. Just rinse it off. You don't need to peel the tomatillos or anything either.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound tomatillos husked, rinsed, cored, & chopped
    • 2 small jalapeños seeded & chopped
    • 2 teaspoon olive oil
    • ¾ teaspoon salt divided
    • 1 clove garlic
    • 2 medium avocados
    • juice from ½ lime
    • ¼ medium red onion diced

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
