This recipe is a versatile delight, perfect for tacos, burrito bowls, or dipping tortilla chips. The magic happens in the oven—charring the fresh vegetables to deepen their flavor before blending them with lime juice, cilantro, and just the right touch of seasoning. Completely dairy-free and crafted with wholesome ingredients, this salsa is as nutritious as it is delicious. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s a surefire crowd pleaser that combines simplicity with bold, unforgettable taste.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them under warm water to remove any sticky residue. Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeño pepper, garlic cloves (with skins on), and white onion (cut into large wedges) on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatillos are softened and lightly charred, and the peppers' skins are blistered.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off the poblano and jalapeño peppers, as well as the garlic cloves.
Transfer the roasted vegetables (including any juices on the pan) to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, lime juice, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your texture preference. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Pour the finished salsa into a serving bowl or jar. It can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
