Ingredients

• 6 pieces Habanero peppers
• 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium White onion
• 0.5 cups Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the habanero peppers, Roma tomatoes, garlic cloves (with skins on), and the onion (cut into quarters) on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, ensuring everything is lightly coated. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly charred, turning halfway through for even roasting.

Step 4

Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the vegetables to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and remove stems from the habanero peppers (if you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the peppers).

Step 5

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, fresh lime juice, and salt.

Step 6

Pulse the mixture until you achieve your desired salsa consistency—smooth or chunky.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If it’s too spicy, you can add an extra tomato to mellow the heat.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or any dish that can handle the heat!
