Description

Air Fryer Salsa–Just in time for the Super Bowl tomorrow. Roasted Tomatoes, Red Onions, Jalapenos, and Garlic Cloves, thanks to the Air Fryer! This is a great and easy recipe, and my homemade salsa has never been better.

Ingredients 

  • 4-6 large Roma tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, fresh
  • 2 Jalapeno Peppers, Cut in half and seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced in 4 pieces
  • 2 clovse garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 3-4 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  • Start by washing your tomatoes, jalapeños, and onion. Halve the tomatoes, quarter the onion, and if you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeños.
  • Preheat your air fryer to around 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, and garlic cloves in the air fryer basket. You can lightly drizzle them with olive oil, though it's not necessary
  • Set cooking time for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are nicely charred and roasted. Shake the basket or turn the vegetables halfway through cooking process to ensure even roasting.
  • Once roasted, let the vegetables cool down to room temperature. You can peel the tomatoes and jalapeños for a smoother salsa, but this step is optional and depends on your texture preference.
  • Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or the bowl of a food processor. Add the fresh lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and cumin (if using).
  • Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse fewer times; for a smoother salsa, blend more.
  • Taste your salsa and adjust the salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed. If it's too spicy, add more tomato to cool it down.
  • Your air fryer salsa is now ready to be served! Enjoy it with chips, over tacos, or as a garnish for other dishes.
  • If not serving immediately, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It typically stays fresh for up to a week.
