Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line small baking sheet with tinfoil (easier cleanup) and spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Slice tomatoes lengthwise and put onto center of baking sheet. Add separated pieces of onion, green onion & jalapeno on and around tomato.
Place garlic slivers inside the tomato halves to protect them from burning and to infuse the tomatoes with garlic flavor.
Drizzle olive oil all over mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes or until tomatoes are soft & juicy and the onions are tender. Remove from oven and let cool thoroughly.
Once cool, spoon the mixture into a large container. Add the fresh cilantro and blend using an immersion blender or regular blender, to your desired degree of chunkiness.
Cover and set aside for a few hours before serving so the flavors can mingle. Enjoy.
