Air Fryer Roasted Salsa Verde with Tomatillos
Ingredients
  • 1 pound tomatillos
  • 1 serrano pepper, halved and seeded
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
  • 1/2 large white onion, cut into 2 wedges
  • 1 serving cooking spray
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 lime, juiced, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to a high temperature, equivalent to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Next, carefully remove the outer coverings from the tomatillos and rinse them under cold water; then cut them in half lengthwise. Place the halved tomatillos and peppers, skin side facing downwards, into the air fryer basket. Add a sliced onion to the mixture.
3
Lightly mist the vegetables with cooking spray in order to facilitate the roasting process.
4
Air fry the vegetables for 5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the basket from the air fryer and add minced garlic cloves to the vegetables.
5
Lightly spray the garlic with cooking spray, allowing it to roast alongside the other ingredients. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
6
Once the vegetables have finished cooking, allow them to cool down completely for a period of 10 minutes.
7
Transfer the cooled vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and add chopped cilantro, freshly squeezed lime juice, and salt. Pulse the mixture several times until it reaches your desired consistency.
8
Serve the vegetables at room temperature, or refrigerate them to allow the flavors to meld together over time.
