Oven Roasted Tomato Salsa

Oven Roasted Tomato Salsa dip is like heaven in bowl. The sweet and smoky flavors of slow roasted tomatoes make this salsa something special. A little time under the broiler intensifies the aroma and flavors of the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic here, adding a rich, smoky flavor to this salsa.

It is tomato season and seeing the fresh tomatoes in the super market I thought of taking up the challenge of making homemade roasted tomato salsa, usually I make my salsa with can of Rotel tomatoes, I am glad that I tried his recipe. My family and friends all love it. I hope you do too.

By roasting the tomatoes in the oven, it concentrates the flavor and adds a different layer to the salsa. It’s still easy to make but it does use a good amount of fresh tomatoes (they shrink through the roasting process) and you need to wait about an hour for them to get their roast on in the oven.

NOTE : The salsa can be kept in the fridge for about a week and actually tastes even better the day after you make it.
