Roasted Tomato Salsa

I found this recipe online and I made it with carne asada tacos and it was delicious! I can't take credit for the nice photo, but mine looked pretty close to that.


  • 6-7 fresh garden tomatoes sliced lengthwise, stem and core removed
  • 1/4 sweet yellow onion chopped in large pieces (separated)
  • 2 green onions, tops trimmed
  • 1 jalapeno (optional)
  • 1 clove of garlic cut into slivers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small handful of chopped cilantro (DO NOT ROAST)
Line small baking sheet with tinfoil (easier cleanup) and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice tomatoes lengthwise and put onto center of baking sheet. Add separated pieces of onion, green onion & jalapeno on and around tomato. Place garlic slivers inside the tomato halves to protect them from burning and to infuse the tomatoes with garlic flavor. Drizzle olive oil all over mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes or until tomatoes are soft & juicy and the onions are tender. Remove from oven and let cool thoroughly.

Add to a bowl with fresh cilantro and blend using an immersion blender or regular blender. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving so the flavors can combine. Enjoy.
