And YEP, it really is super easy to make. SUPER EASY!

I love easy.

Game Day is well on the way and to me, game day means SALSA, so I’ve been busting out some great Salsa Recipes lately.

Salsa is the perfect game day or party food snack. There is always a home on the appetizer table for a good salsa.

Especially this one, with it's one-two combination of sweet and heat.

Let's talk about how we make it, shall we?

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

First, slice in half your peeled and rinsed tomatillos, jalapenos and habanero peppers. Set them onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Slice open the pineapple. Remove the skin and core from half of the pineapple (save the rest for another use) and slice it into 3/4 inch slices. Spread them out on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Bake both sheets at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until the the pepper and tomatillo skins char, bubble up and loosen. You can peel and the skins if you'd like.

Next, add all of the roasted ingredients to a food processor, along with lime juice, cilantro and a bit of salt.

Delicious!

It's thick and spicy, and just the right touch of sweet from the pineapple.

Patty REALLY loves tomatillos, too, so this is one of her favorite salsas.

Serving Up Your Roasted Pineapple-Habanero Salsa

We like to serve our salsas in a traditional manner, with chips for dipping, but instead of salsa being the old party standby, consider it is a sauce alternative.

It is awesome over fish or chicken.
