- 4 Onions
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced Tomatoes
Seasonings and Oil
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
- Prepare vegetables for roasting: Arrange the red chili peppers, onions, and garlic cloves on a large roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil, toss gently to coat evenly, then season with salt and ground black pepper according to your taste.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through to ensure even roasting and caramelization.

- For a smoother texture, strain the sauce after blending.
- This sauce keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
