Description

This simple restaurant-style salsa is made with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno that are first roasted in an air fryer.

Ingredients

4 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
1/2 red onion, cut into 2 wedges
cooking spray
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
salt to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place tomatoes and jalapeno skin-side down into the air fryer basket, along with red onion. Lightly spray vegetables with cooking spray to help the roasting process.
3 Air fry vegetables for 5 minutes. Open basket and add garlic cloves. Spray lightly with cooking spray and air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
4 Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
5 Remove skins from tomatoes and jalapeno, if desired; they should slip right off. Chop tomatoes, jalapeno, and onion into large chunks and add to the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse several times until vegetables are finely chopped; do not over-process. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate to let flavors meld.
