 Roasted Tomato & Jalapeño Salsa

  

  

      Ingredients

3 pints cherry tomatoes

1/2 large onion, chopped into large pieces

1 jalapeño

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

sea salt, to taste

3 cloves garlic

3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

6 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 to 3 teaspoons cumin                

                       

                                 

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

2. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Arrange the tomatoes, onion, and whole jalapeño on the 

parchment paper. Drizzle the oil on top and use your hands 

to toss to coat. Season with salt to taste. Roast for about 40 

minutes, or until the tomatoes are wilted and the onions are

supersoft. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

3. Remove the seeds from the roasted jalapeño and discard. 

To a blender, add the seeded jalapeño, roasted tomatoes, 

roasted onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. Pulse 

several times, until all the ingredients are well blended. Add 

more salt if necessary. 

4. Serve at room temperature.
