Ingredients

1 pound tomatillos
1 serrano pepper, halved and seeded

1/2 large white onion, cut into 2 wedges
1 serving cooking spray
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 lime, juiced, or more to taste
1 pinch salt to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse; cut tomatillos in half. Place tomatillos and peppers skin side-down into the air fryer basket. Add 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.
