Ingredients:

1 lb tomatoes
450g
1/2 red onion
54g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tsp sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Tomatoes:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Onion:
- Peel the red onion half and slice it into thick wedges.
- Add the onion slices to the baking sheet with the tomatoes.
4. Prepare the Chili Peppers:
- 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.
5. Roast the Vegetables:
- 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.
6. Blend the Roasted Vegetables:
- 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.
7. Blend to Desired Consistency:
- 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.
8. Taste and Adjust:
- 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.
9. Serve:
- 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.
10. Store:
- 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.

In no time, you can have an amazing spicy roast tomato salsa ready to complement your favorite dishes. With its perfect balance of heat and sweetness, this salsa will undoubtedly become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy the bold flavors and don't hesitate to experiment to make this recipe your own.
