Fire-Roasted Cherry Tomato Salsa Dip

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fire-Roasted Cherry Tomato Salsa Dip.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven's broiler and adjusting the rack so it sits about 6 inches from the heat source.

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and give it a light brush of olive oil.

3. Step 3

   Next, spread out the vibrant cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, unpeeled garlic cloves, and sliced jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re evenly distributed for optimal roasting.

4. Step 4

   Pop the baking sheet under the broiler and let the vegetables roast for about 5 minutes.

5. Step 5

   After that, carefully rotate the baking sheet and continue broiling for another 5 minutes, or until everything is beautifully charred and fragrant.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re done, let the veggies cool for a bit—this will make handling them easier.

7. Step 7

   When they’re cool enough to touch, peel the garlic cloves and toss the skins away.

8. Step 8

   Now it’s time to bring all those delicious flavors together! In a blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, jalapeños, and any tasty juices left on the baking sheet.

9. Step 9

   Add in some fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and oregano for that extra kick.

10. Step 10

    Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy.

11. Step 11

    Transfer your vibrant salsa to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

12. Step 12

    This resting time allows all those wonderful flavors to meld together beautifully.
