This easy roasted salsa recipe is made with roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, and red onion. Fresh cilantro and spices help pull the ingredients together into one tasty Mexican appetizer.

Nothing beats the taste of fresh salsa, except for roasted salsa. Though this easy recipe comes together in about half an hour, it’s best to refrigerate it for a couple of hours so that the flavors can meld.

How To Make Roasted Salsa

For this classic Mexican dish, you need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup red onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • ⅓ cup cilantro
  • 14.5 ounce petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp sugar (optional)
  • ¼ tsp salt
tomatoes, jalapeno, seasoning, red onion, garlic, and cilantro

To make it, you start by preheating your oven to 450° Fahrenheit.

Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Add chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil.

Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, flipping them ½ way through the cooking time.
