Homemade Roasted Red Salsa
Report
Homemade salsa really is as simple as it gets. Quarter your vegetables and throw them on the grill or in the oven until roasted (10-15 min). Toss everything in a food processor and blend away!

Ingredients
- ½ medium yellow onion cut into quarters
- 4 ripe roma tomatoes halved
- 1 jalapeno pepper, halved (seeds removed if you like a mild salsa)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- ½ Tablespoon of brown sugar (or agave or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar or lime juice)
- ¼ cup of fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Lay all of the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking tray and bake undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes until veggies are starting to brown.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Add all veggies and remaining ingredients to the bowl of the food processor and process until you reach ideal salsa consistency (some like it chunkier than others). Season to taste and chill for 20-30 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Choose tomatoes of the same size as much as possible and slice them into equal proportions, so they roast evenly in the oven.
- You can make your salsa chunky by reducing the blending time, or you can make it very smooth by blitzing the veggies longer.
- We like to add in a bit of chipotle pepper or smoked paprika for some smokey flavor. You can also roast them longer until you see some blistered, charred spots to add a natural smokey taste.
- You can also add some fruit to brighten it up. Mango and pineapple are both great. Simply cut them up and roast them with the veggies. However, if you are adding these to your salsa, omit the sugar to keep it from becoming overly sweet.
- Letting your salsa rest and chill is important to allow all the flavors to mesh together properly.
