Notes
When making fresh salsa, quality is key. Find the best, most ripe tomatoes you can. If the tomatoes available to you are not great quality, try roasting them for more flavorful results:
Set your oven to 375° F.
Slice tomatoes in half, coat with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Arrange tomatoes cut side down on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet
Roast for 15-20 minutes until tomatoes soften and begin to release their juices.
Store tomatoes and juices in airtight container until ready to make salsa
For even better results, add your onion and garlic to this tray as well!
