    Helpful Tips for Making Roasted Chili Corn Salsa

    Roasting Corn 

    Allowing the corn to roast in the oven is going to bring out a ton of flavor of the salsa. You can also roast the corn on the grill if you would like to do that, then cut it off the cob. 

    Single Layer Of Vegetables 

    When roasting the vegetables make sure they are in a single layer. That way you get an even roasting on the vegetables. Otherwise you will find that the veggies will vary a bit. 

    Variations For Roasted Chili Corn Salsa

    Poblano Peppers 

    Instead of green chilies you can easily swap to poblano peppers instead. You will want to roast the pepper the same and then dice it up into bite size pieces. Feel free to remove the seeds of the pepper. 

    Heat Factor 

    Leaving the seeds in the jalapeno is going to ramp up the heat. Now, you can remove the seeds and then have a more mild corn salsa. 

    Lemon Juice 

    Feel free to add in some lemon juice as well as the lime. It will add another layer of flavor to the salsa.
