1 lbs Tomatillos

5 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Prep work:
Pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cubed, or canned pumpkin puree. Apples. Onion: Red onion works well, cut into wedges for roasting. Garlic: Whole garlic cloves, peeled. Green Apple: Peeled, cored, and diced. Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes, halved. Tomatillos: Husked and halved. Jalapeño Pepper: Halved and seeded (leave the seeds in for extra heat if you prefer).Green Chilies: Whole
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pumpkin and apple: Spread the pumpkin cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil, sprinkle with a little salt, and toss to coat evenly.
3. Onion, Garlic, Tomatoes, Tomatillos, Jalapeño, Green Chilies: Arrange these vegetables on another baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil, and toss to ensure they are well-coated. Season lightly with salt.Put the baking sheet in the oven. Roast for about 25- 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender or slightly charred. The pumpkin should be fork-tender, and the edges of the other vegetables should have a nice char.
4. Remove the vegetables from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
5. Transfer the roasted pumpkin, onions, garlic, tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeño, and red bell peppers to a food processor.
6. Add the diced green apple, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice.
7. Pulse the mixture until the desired consistency. Blend until smooth or leave some texture with tiny chunks of the roasted veggies.
8. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle toasted pepitas on top for added crunch and a nutty flavor.
9. Serve the salsa at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any of your favorite Mexican dishes. If you have leftovers, store the pumpkin salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to a week, and the flavors will deepen over time.
