Roasted Salsa Verde Recipe
Instructions
1
Place tomatillos in large bowl of water, let soak about 10 minutes for easy husk removal. Remove tomatillo husks and cut them in half
2
Place tomatillos, peppers, and onion on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes till everything is nicely charred and tomatillos are tender. Keep a close eye during this process, everyone’s broiler is different!
3
Into a food processor (or blender), add in the roasted veggies (along with any juices on the tray) and cilantro. Blend until everything is finely chopped and the consistency resembles a salsa.
4
Optional: Heat oil in a medium sized deep skillet or saucepan over high heat till it shimmers, then add in salsa mix. Stir frequently for about 4 minutes until the salsa thickens up.
5
Remove from the heat. Taste test and season with additional salt as needed.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Char for Depth 🔥Roast tomatillos and peppers until they develop dark charred spots and the skins blister slightly—this caramelization creates complex, smoky flavors that elevate the salsa beyond raw versions.
- Onion Roasting Trick 🧅Roast white onion wedges alongside the tomatillos and peppers to mellow their sharpness and add natural sweetness, then blend for a more balanced, sophisticated salsa.
- Cool Before Blending 🧊Let roasted ingredients cool for 5 minutes before processing to prevent over-oxidation of the cilantro and preserve its vibrant green color and fresh flavor.
- Serrano vs. Jalape ño Balance 🌶️Use serranos for more heat and citrusy notes, jalapeños for milder flavor—roasting both together creates a nuanced heat profile, so adjust the ratio based on your preferred spice level.
- Oil Finishing Touch 🫒Drizzle quality neutral oil over the finished salsa just before serving to add silky mouthfeel and help emulsify the ingredients for better texture and flavor cohesion.
