Roasted Tomato Jalapeno Salsa

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Wash the tomatoes and jalapenos, then place them on the baking sheet.

3. Cut the onion into quarters and add it to the baking sheet along with the unpeeled garlic cloves.

4. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the skins of the tomatoes and jalapenos start to blister.

5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes.

6. Once cooled, peel the skins off the tomatoes and jalapenos. Remove the stems from the jalapenos.

7. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, jalapenos, red onion, garlic cloves, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

8. Pulse the mixture until you reach your desired salsa consistency. Some prefer chunky salsa, while others prefer a smoother texture.

9. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.

10. Transfer the Roasted Tomato Jalapeno Salsa to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh cilantro leaves.
