I really love fresh veggies that have been roasted for salsa. It makes the flavors so much more bold and tasty! That's why I came up with this recipe one weekend while the family was visiting. It was gobbled up within minutes! Ingredients:
12 plum tomatoes |
6 ounces frozen corn |
1 green pepper |
1 yellow pepper |
1 red pepper |
1 cubanelle pepper (for milder salsa) or 1 jalapeno pepper (for hotter salsa) |
1 carrot |
1 red onion |
4 cloves garlic |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro |
1 lime |
12 ounces tomato puree |
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Slice all peppers in quarters and remove seeds.
3. Place on baking sheet.
4. Slice onion in quarters, leaving skin on.

7. Brush all vegetables on baking sheet with extra virgin olive oil.
8. In small casserole dish, pour 1/2 package of frozen corn and brush with olive oil.
9. Place baking sheet on lower rack of oven and casserole dish on top rack.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
11. Then broil for another 5-10 minutes until vegetables start to char on the outside.
