Ingredients
  

  • 5 Tomatoes Large
  • 5 Garlic Cloves Peeled
  • 1/2 A Large Onion
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 3 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 Bunch of Cilantro Rough Chopped
  • 1 Lime Juiced
  • 1 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper or to taste
  • 1 tsp Tomato Boullion Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash and prep the veggies. Chop the tomatoes, onion and jalapeño into big pieces, halves mostly, so that everything is roughly the same size. Peel the garlic and leave whole.
  • On a foil lined baking sheet, add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Drizzle with oil and toss everything so the vegetables are coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 20 minutes until the tomatoes have released their juices and the onions are translucent. Broil for 5-8 minutes until a little charred.
  • Roughly chop the cilantro. Pre-chopping the cilantro will allow the cilantro to not fully break apart in the blender, if you put whole cilantro in the blender you will have a brown salsa. It will still taste good- it will just be brown!
  • Add all of the roasted veggies to a blender with the juice of one lime. Blend it to the desired consistency, I like to leave a little bit of chunks.
  • Add in the cilantro, tomato bouillon and salt/pepper to taste and pulse the blender a few times.
  • Pour into a bowl and enjoy! This will last in your refrigerator for 5 days.
