About the Mango habanero salsa
This roasted habanero mango salsa strikes the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. The habaneros provide a nice kick, while the mango adds a sweetness that offsets the spice.
This salsa is flavorful and has a slight spiciness and sweetness, making it ideal for serving with chips, on tacos, or as a condiment. The habanero peppers are pretty spicy, so adding mango or pineapple to this salsa works well. The fruit adds sweetness and helps to balance the spiciness of the chiles. The apple cider vinegar enhances the flavors and extends the salsa’s shelf life.
Ingredients
- Mangoes. Any mango will work for the salsa. I love to use Tommy mangoes because they are sweet, easy to cut and peel, and have great color.
- Habaneros. I like to use orange or yellow habaneros to continue the same color palate but feel free to use what you have on hand.
- Onion and garlic. Cut the onion into quarters and remove the first peel. Do not peel the garlic cloves. We need that thin paper layer to avoid bunting garlic.
- Vegetable oil. I like to use avocado oil, but any other oil with a high heat smoking point will work.
- Apple cider vinegar.

- Place ingredients on a baking sheet, cover with oil and season with salt.
- Roast at a 400ºF oven until all of them are completely charred.

- Enjoy!
