Recipe View Transfer the salsa to a bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Before serving, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Chill time: 120 minutes)

For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before roasting.
If you don't have a broiler, you can roast the vegetables in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred.
This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of heat in the salsa.
Experiment with other types of peppers, such as serrano or habanero, for a different flavor profile.
For an even smokier flavor, try grilling the vegetables instead of broiling them.

    This salsa is amazing! The fire-roasted flavor is so intense and delicious.

  • Berenice Daugherty

    Great recipe! I reduced the jalapenos for my kids and it was perfect.

  • Marielle Damore

    I added a little bit of smoked paprika to enhance the smoky flavor even more.

  • Caleigh Gottlieb

    Be careful not to burn the garlic, or it will make the salsa bitter. I learned that the hard way!

  • Tyrell Little

    I made this for a party, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the smoky flavor.

  • Santina Legros

    I found that roasting the vegetables on a grill also works well.
