How to Make Roasted Jalapeno And Tomato Salsa

  1. Preheat your broiler to high. Position oven rack to the highest position.
  2. Halve the tomatoes and jalapeños lengthwise. Place them cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 8-10 minutes, until the tomatoes and peppers are slightly blackened in spots.
  4. Flip the tomatoes and peppers and broil for another 8-10 minutes, or until softened and charred in spots. Remove peppers if cooked through before tomatoes.
  5. Remove from broiler and let cool slightly.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings.
  8. Toss the onion rings and garlic cloves with a drizzle of olive oil on a separate baking sheet.
  9. Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the onions are wilted, slightly charred, and the garlic is soft and browned.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool.
  11. Remove stems from the roasted peppers. Roughly chop the roasted peppers, onions, and garlic.
  12. Combine the chopped peppers, onions, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
  13. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
  14. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
  15. Stir in salt, apple cider vinegar, and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, vinegar, or cilantro to your liking.
  16. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
