Roasted Salsa ~ The Tastiest Homemade Salsa 

With some fresh cilantro and fresh garlic and a few pulses with the new KitchenAid Food Processor, I had a thick and delicious salsa that everyone loved. The roasted tomatoes are sweet and the peppers take on a nice smokey flavor that really sets this salsa apart. We ate this roasted salsa on grilled chicken tacos, then on quesadillas and with some blue corn tortilla chips.  It is my new favorite salsa!  I know you will love it!

Ingredients Needed:

  • Roma tomatoes 
  •  jalapeno
  • poblano pepper
  • sweet peppers
  • olive oil
  • sea salt
  • sugar
  • garlic cloves
  • fresh cilantro

How to Make:

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  

Layer tomatoes and peppers over foil.  

Drizzle olive oil over tomatoes and peppers.  

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and sugar.

Bake for 35 minutes.  

Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.

Add roasted tomatoes and peppers to the food processor bowl, add garlic cloves and fresh cilantro.  

Pulse 10-15 times, stop and scrape sides with a rubber spatula.

Process on low speed for 20-30 seconds or until tomatoes and vegetables are finely chopped and well combined.

Place into an airtight container and chill for 1 hour or until ready to serve.

The KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor:

My family loves it when my sister-in-law makes salsa, they love the big jars I buy at Sam’s, but they never liked my salsa. Imagine my dismay.  Then I found a wonderful recipe and it all changed. I wanted to branch out a bit and come up with my own recipe.  My Mom grows beautiful, red, juicy tomatoes and she roasts them for tomato soup.  I got to thinking roasted tomato salsa would be good too.  Especially if you are lucky enough to have fresh, tasty tomatoes. About the time I was dreaming up this wonderful salsa, my food processor broke.  I was a little distraught because I use my food processor for so many things. Fortunately the UPS man showed up with this;

KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor.

So I roasted some peppers and tomatoes.  Just ignore that petrified garlic…

With some fresh cilantro and fresh garlic and a few pulses with the new KitchenAid Food Processor (wonder machine), I had a thick and delicious salsa that the guys all loved. The roasted tomatoes are sweet and the peppers take on a nice smoky flavor that really sets this salsa apart.

See that huge 13-cup bowl! It also comes with a 4 cup bowl & multiple blades including a dough blade.  Which has already proven handy for biscuits and pie dough!  This processor also has ExactSlice system, allowing you to adjust the thickness of your slices. It also has a large feed mouth tube so you don’t have to cut everything into tiny pieces before you process them.  I love it!  Plus it is this gorgeous Empire Red to match my mixer!
