Air Fryer Salsa Verde

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Salsa Verde.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 390°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, take a moment to prepare your tomatillos: remove their husks and give them a good rinse under cool water.

   Slice the tomatillos in half and place them in the air fryer basket, skin-side down.

4. Step 4

   Add in the serrano and jalapeno peppers, along with the onion wedges.

5. Step 5

   To help those veggies roast beautifully, give them a light spritz of cooking spray.

6. Step 6

   Now, let the air fryer work its magic for about 5 minutes.

7. Step 7

   After this initial roasting, carefully open the basket and toss in the peeled garlic cloves.

8. Step 8

   A quick spray of cooking oil on the garlic will help it caramelize nicely.

9. Step 9

   Close the basket and let everything air fry for another 5 minutes, filling your kitchen with delightful aromas.

10. Step 10

    Once the vegetables are perfectly roasted, let them cool for about 10 minutes.
