This easy roasted peach and poblano salsa is full of sweet heat. Fresh peaches, poblanos, jalapenos, onions, and more and roasted and blended into a chunky salsa. My favorite way to serve this is on top of a grilled pork tenderloin. It is also a great topping for shrimp, fish tacos, or chicken breasts. This is a great summer salsa and perfect for in season produce, it has a slightly smoky flavor

What can I substitute for poblano peppers?
You could substitute green bell peppers if you are looking for something with less spice. You could substitute jalapeño peppers or Anaheim peppers for a more spicy, but similar substitution.
Blend the roasted salsa in a food processer until you reach your desired consistency.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Chop veggies into small pieces. On a large sheet pan place peaches, poblanos, jalapeños, onion, and garlic. Drizzle heavily with olive oil and season with salt.
- Roast at 425 for 15-20 minutes until the peaches are tender. If desired, place under the broiler for 4-5 minutes so get a slight char.* Transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly.
- In a blender or food processor combine peaches, poblanos, jalapenos, onions, and garlic. Add in the fresh cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until smooth, or leave chunky if desired. Adjust salt and lime to taste. This salsa will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
Notes:
- You can also char the peaches and peppers over a medium flame using a gas grill or stove top before roasting.
