Roasted corn brings a juicy sweetness that is like no other, perfectly matching the heat of the habanero peppers and depth of the outstanding jalapeno peppers. Cover the refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to really mingle, then serve it up at your next bash.

How to Make Roasted Corn-Habanero Salsa - the Recipe Method

First, preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Next, remove the stems from your habaneros and jalapenos. Slice in half lengthwise. Place them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet skin sides up.

Peel and clean the tomatillos. Slice them in half lengthwise, then place them on the baking sheet skin side up.

Slice the tomato in half and place on baking sheet skin side up.

Add garlic to the baking sheet.

Peel onion and slice in half. Set on baking sheet.

Next, bake 15-20 minutes or until pepper skins begin to char.

Remove from heat.

Peel skins from tomatillos, tomato and jalapeno peppers.

3 tablespoons chopped all roasted ingredients to a food processor.

3 tablespoons chopped a sauté pan to medium heat. Add the corn and pan roast until golden about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to food processor.

Toss in the cilantro, lime juice and salt, then process the whole thing until nice and smooth.

Finally, transfer your freshly made habanero salsa to a bowl and cover. Refrigerate about 4 hours to allow flavors to mingle, or overnight to a deeper flavor.

Recipe Tips & Notes

If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve some of the roasted corn before processing, then stir them back into the processed salsa.

I love it this way! I hope you enjoy it! Nice and spicy, my friends!

Storage & Leftovers

Storing your Roasted Corn-Habanero Salsa in an airtight container in the fridge may allow to keep it for up to 3-5 days. To maximize the storage life, make sure to refrigerate it promptly.

    How long will this salsa keep in the fridge? We made it and love it but have a ton left over.

      This should be good for about a week in the refrigerator, covered. Enjoy, Barb!

    This recipe is fantastic. I made it for a meal to share with friends and had several people demand their own bottle. I made a double batch the next time because I had to have some for myself. I roasted the corn on the grill, though.
