Remove the baking sheets from the oven being careful not to spill any of the tomato juices that have accumulated.
• Let vegetables cool down a bit then use a food processor to blend everything together along with one bunch of cilantro, 1 Tbsp of salt and any tomato juice left in the baking dish (feel free to discard tomato juice for a thicker salsa. If your food processor is small, process in a few batches then mix it all together. Let cool to room temp, then cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

• COOKING NOTES
• INGREDIENTS
• Tomatoes
• Even though I use cherry tomatoes in the recipe, any type of tomato would work well here. Just keep in mind that larger ones will take longer to roast. Also, the sweeter the tomato, the sweeter the salsa.
• TECHNIQUES
• Roasting
• Roasting vegetables really brings out their natural flavors by doing two things: dehydrating them concentrates their flavors and caramelizing them brings our their sweetness.
• In order to achieve this you need a hot oven and the vegetables need space. Do not overcrowd or stack your vegetables because that will cause them to steam and not roast.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• If placed in an airtight container, the salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
