Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh green chilies (such as serrano or jalapeño)
- 5 medium Tomatillos, husked and rinsed
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, peeled
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup White onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
Place the tomatillos, green chilies, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with avocado oil to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the ingredients are charred and softened. Allow them to cool slightly.
Once cooled, remove the stems and seeds from the green chilies if you prefer a milder salsa. Leave the seeds for more spice.
Add the roasted tomatillos, green chilies, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, diced white onion, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth, or pulse for a chunkier texture, depending on your preference.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve as a dip with low-carb vegetables, as a topping for grilled meat, or paired with your favorite low-carb tortillas.
