Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, red onion (cut into wedges), and garlic cloves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and use your hands or a brush to coat them evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly charred, and the garlic is golden.
Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor or blender. Remove the stem from the jalapeño, and if you prefer less heat, deseed the pepper.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to the food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture until you achieve your desired consistency. For a thinner salsa, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and pulse again.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the warm salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
