This easy Oven-Roasted Tomato Salsa is a flavorful dip made with roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic and jalapeños. Serve it with your favorite tortilla chips and guacamole for the ultimate appetizer!

Key Ingredients

  • Tomatoes: I opt for Roma tomatoes because they are not too watery and won't water down the salsa.
  • Onion: I prefer using a white onion for this salsa but a yellow or red onion would work too.
  • Jalapeños: this recipe has just a slight kick. You can remove the seeds for a milder flavor or double the jalapeño for extra spice.
  • Garlic: smash the garlic before roasting it with the other veggies.
  • Cilantro: the cilantro adds a delicious freshness to the salsa.
  • Lime Juice: for a little acid!

Making roasted salsa

You start by giving those essential salsa veggies a rough chop then throwing them in the oven to bake. Then you turn the broiler on high and get that beautiful black color before transferring to the food processor.

Prep ahead and storage tips

Once the salsa is made you can serve it immediately while it is still warm, or you can refrigerate it and serve up to 3 days later.

  • Guacamole
  • Ground Chicken Enchiladas
