Making the Salsa
Making this salsa couldn’t be easier! Simply roast the vegetables until they’re soft and slightly charred, then blend them together with fresh cilantro and lime juice for an extra punch of flavor. The result? A bold and zesty salsa verde you’ll absolutely love!
- Start by preheating your oven to 400℉. While that is preheating, get started on preparing your vegetables. Cut the tomatillos, onions and jalapeños into large chunks and peel the garlic cloves.

- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking.
- In a food processor or blender, blend the vegetables with cilantro, lime juice and more salt and pulse until a smooth consistency is reached.
