Roasted Tomato and Feta Guacamole

August 13, 2014 by Joy the Baker 41 Comments

roasted tomato and feta guacamole

I wish there was some sort of Willy Wonka-style candy factory that produced savory avocado delights instead of candy.  In addition to that statement making me sound stone-cold craaaazy, the reality of that sort of factory would be absolutely AMAZING!  Don’t lie.  You want in.

I’d totally Veruca Salt my way all up in there.  No shame.

Since there is no fantasy-land avocado factory I’ve settled for roasting a big ol’ bunch of cherry tomatoes, and tossing them (along with just a little too much feta) into a batch of creamy do-no-wrong guacamole.

Roasted Tomato and Feta Guacamole

Don’t roasted cherry tomatoes look a little bit like candy?  If candy were vegetable.

Related and rhetorical:  why won’t I shut up about candy!?

Roasted Tomato and Feta Guacamole

These avocados feel like a hot commodity here in the South.  In California, they grow on trees (like money, and Jimmy Choos) and you always have a friend who complains about the random avocado tree littering their backyard with avocados.  Oooooh how I long for such produce problems.

In-skin slicing, because we’re very smart and very efficient.

Cilantro and onions in the avocado bowl all for the mashing.

Coarsely chopped roasted tomatoes and big crumbles of feta are folded into the mashed avocado mixture.

Lots of fresh lime, salt, and pepper, too!

Roasted Tomato and Feta Guacamole

That was easy, wasn’t it!?

It’s natural to feel mostly like a magician.

    We have the same avocado issues here in London. If you are lucky enough to find a good one it will cost you £5 and your first child. But next time I find one I am making this recipe for sure!

    We are pretty lucky about the avocados we get, except I heard there is going to be a shortage next year and I’m already freaking out about it!

    I will never forget being in California and seeing avocado served with everything (even at the cheapest brunch places). Here (in Georgia), avocados are so expensive!! Definitely a treat for sure!

    Every time I make guacamole, I load it up with goat cheese. It’s a little bit creamier than feta, but just as tangy. :)

    This looks so good! I never thought of mashing feta into my guac. When my mom moved to Florida from Nor Cal a few years ago, the very first thing she complained about (even before the weather!) was the sad avocado situation.

    As always, you can make something simple like guacamole into something sophisticated and fancy! I really want to try this…Aaaand since I’m in California, I feel like I owe it to you to go get some easily-available avocados and make this ASAP.

    We were just in Hawaii, and my husband’s aunt and uncle had a neighbor invite them over for their pretty much weekly bag of avocados picked from one of his tress.
    Jealousy doesn’t even begin to describe what I felt. Think avocados are a commodity in the South? Try NYC. Ouch, that price hurts.
    Also, this looks delicious.
