Mango Habanero Salsa
Mango Habanero Salsa pairs roasted habanero, mango, and onion for a smoky-sweet bite with lively heat and tangy lime. The char mellows the pepper’s sting while boosting tropical fruitiness and savory depth, making it bright, balanced, and slightly chunky. Serve with hearty chips or spoon over tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.

Roast on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and roast for 5 more minutes. Move the baking pan to the top shelf and broil until the onion and mango start to brown and the habanero pepper blisters, about 3 more minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.

Wearing gloves, remove the stem from the habanero pepper and place the pepper in a small food processor or blender; add the mango, the onion, the garlic, the cilantro, the lime juice, and the salt. Season with black pepper and cumin. Pulse until the salsa is combined and slightly chunky. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving to let the flavors blend.
