Because this salsa is smooth, it is spicy, it is made of roasted tomatoes, it is delicious and it is vegan. Want to learn how you can make tomato salsa? Let’s get started.

If you like to add a little kick to your oven-baked tortilla chips, tacos or quesadillas than this is the salsa recipe is the right one your.

Because let’s face your salsa needs a little bit of heat when you dip your tortilla chips or pita chips into it. Not I need a fire extinguisher kind of heat but a little bit to grab the next chip and eat on.

The most important part of this recipe is two-fold you need sweet plum cherry tomatoes and you need a broiler. When you put these tomatoes under the broiler with some salt on it you will get an intense sweet flavor.

The broiler gives the tomatoes a grilled smoky taste you do not get from any jarred salsa. Believe me, I tried many, many salsa’s and none have this flavor.

A lot of the salsas in a jar, are too watery for my taste that is why I never add any water when I blend the salsa. Tomato salsa should be chunky, thick and rustic.

So it is no problem when you see the onion, scallion or garlic in your salsa at least then you know what you are eating.

What I love about this recipe is how easy it is. Cut the veggies, broil, blend and you are ready to serve. This salsa recipe is vegan and fits a low carb or Keto diet.

How to make tomato salsa

For this recipe, I choose cherry tomatoes for the smooth spicy roasted tomato salsa because they are full of juice and have a naturally sweet taste. However, if you like tomatoes on the vine, Roma tomatoes or plum tomatoes you can use them as well.

This recipe doesn’t require a lot of work. Some slicing and dicing and the oven will then do the heavy lifting for you.

Put your oven on broil before you start slicing the ingredients. Half the (cherry) tomatoes and put them cut side up on a baking tray.

Sprinkle with salt. Cut the onion in thick slices. Half the chili pepper and put the onion, garlic cloves, and spring onion on the tray as well.

Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes turning the garlic and pepper after 10 minutes.

Let the ingredients cool down a little before putting them in the blender. Remove stem and the seeds from the red chili pepper before adding to the blender as well.

Then blend thoroughly for a couple of minutes. If the salsa is to thick you can add a little water, however, I like thick salsa so I kept it as is.

Et voila here you have smooth spicy roasted tomato salsa. Doesn’t this look truly delicious?
