Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Place the tomato pieces on a baking sheet, skin side down.
- Peel the red onion half and slice it into thick wedges.
- Add the onion slices to the baking sheet with the tomatoes.
- Wash the red hot chili peppers.
- Remove the stems and, if desired, de-seed them for a milder heat level.
- Slice the chili peppers in half lengthwise and add them to the baking sheet with the tomatoes and onions.
- Place the baking sheet with the tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers in the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the tomatoes have a slight char.
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers to a food processor or blender.
- Add the sugar to the mixture.
- Pulse the ingredients in the food processor or blender until you reach your desired salsa consistency. You can blend until smooth or leave it chunky for more texture.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch more sugar, salt, or lime juice to balance the flavors according to your preference.
- Transfer the spicy roast tomato salsa to a serving bowl.
- Serve it warm or chilled with tortilla chips, over tacos, or as a condiment for your favorite dishes.
- Any leftover salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes for the best flavor; the juicier, the better.
- When roasting the vegetables, ensure they are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to promote even cooking.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer chili peppers based on your heat tolerance.
- Allow the salsa to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a smokier flavor, roast the vegetables on a grill instead of in the oven.
