Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 1 piece Lime
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the Roma tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the baking sheet with the tomatoes.
Drizzle the tomatoes and garlic with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and the garlic is golden brown.
While the tomatoes are roasting, finely dice the red onion and roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper, then finely chop it. Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference.
Once the tomatoes and garlic have cooled slightly, transfer them to a cutting board and chop them roughly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped roasted tomatoes and garlic with the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the salsa mixture. Discard the seeds.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or eggs. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
