Notes

Yield: Makes approximately 2 cups.

Oven variation: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the green tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onion on a sheet pan in a single layer. Drizzle lightly with oil if desired. Roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping once, until the vegetables are softened and beginning to char in spots. The tomatoes should change from bright green to a darker green, yellow or lightly browned.

Serving suggestions: Pair with tortilla chips, nachos, tacos, grilled meats or even eggs for a flavorful kick!
