Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the tomatillos, yellow onion, garlic, green bell pepper, jalapeno, and poblano peppers on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and a generous pinch of kosher salt, then spread out across the pan. I like to place the tomatillos cut-side down, and the peppers skin-side down.
Toss the peppers and onion after 15 minutes of cooking; you'll see a lot of juice from the tomatillos - that's ok! Roast for another 10 minutes until soft and tender, and the poblanos are slightly charred.
Let them cool slightly on the sheet pan until the poblano peppers are cool enough to handle (or you can use oven mitts). Grabbing where the skin of the poblano pepper is charred, begin peeling it off using kitchen tongs, a fork, or your fingers. Get as much off as you can, but it doesn't need to be perfect.
To a blender, add vegetable broth, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and the veggies. Vent the lid slightly to allow steam to escape, and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth (or your desired consistency is reached).
Use immediately or transfer to a jar for storage. The sauce will keep for 5-7 days stored in the fridge, or it can be frozen.
