This easy corn salsa has a great depth of flavor, thanks to the air fryer. "Roasting" the corn, pepper and tomatoes brings out smoky and caramelized notes in the vegetables. Use this dip as a pairing with meat or fish, or scoop it up with your favorite tortilla chips.

Ingredients

½ - 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, halved
2 corn, husked
2 Roma tomatoes
½ small sweet onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Remove and discard stems from jalapeño (or serrano). If desired, remove and discard seeds. Cut corn in half, if needed, to fit in the air-fryer basket. Transfer the pepper and corn to a large bowl. Add tomatoes, onion and garlic. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
Working in batches as necessary, arrange the vegetables in an even layer in the air-fryer basket; cook until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes.
Peel the garlic cloves, discarding skins. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Transfer the vegetables, garlic and half the corn to a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice to taste and salt. Pulse until finely chopped. Stir in cumin and the remaining corn.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
