Ingredients

• 1 pound Tomatillos
• 1 medium White onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Jalapeño
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.

Step 3

Cut the onion into quarters and peel the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Place the tomatillos, quartered onion, garlic cloves, and the whole jalapeño on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly charred, and the onion edges are caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Be careful when handling the jalapeño; if you prefer a milder sauce, remove the seeds before blending.

Step 8

Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender. Blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.

Step 9

Pour the sauce into a serving bowl or airtight container. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
