Roasted Tomato Salsa

Make this homemade Roasted Tomato Salsa to change things up a bit! This recipe is fun to make and even more fun to eat. If you are like us, and grow your own tomatoes in the summertime, this recipe is even better! However, Roma tomatoes from the grocery store are just perfect as well.

What you’ll need is: 5 Roma tomatoes, 3 serrano peppers, 1 yellow onion, 1 tomatillo, 1 head of garlic (yes, a whole head), 2 green onions, ¼ cup of cilantro (the stems and leaves), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of water, the juice of one lime, and some salt and pepper.

Start by rinsing and drying all produce. Cut the tomatoes, tomatillo, and onion in half. Cut the top off of the head of garlic and cut the tops off of the serrano peppers. Place all the produce, cut sides down, and head of garlic down on the baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Now set your oven to Broil – High. Yes, we are broiling these ingredients! Broil for 5 to 10 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. Keep a close eye on this the entire time. If ingredients start to get too charred, flip them with some (tasty) tongs or remove them from the baking sheet.

Next, remove baking sheet from oven and place all ingredients into a blender Make sure you remove the garlic cloves from the head of garlic now!! Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of water, the juice from 1 lime and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Finish by blending with light pulses in blender until chunky.

Serve & enjoy your homemade Roasted Tomato Salsa!
