This recipe is canning and freezing friendly, perfect for preserving a overabundance of garden tomatillo plants!

This year our tomatillo plants did a great job in producing tomatillos!  We started growing tomatillos a few years ago on the roof and they were so successful, and easy to grow, we made them a permanent plant in the garden.   Of course, when we first started growing tomatillos I think we had 6 plants, but as is garden life, now we’re up to 20 something plants.

 In all honesty, it might be too many tomatillo plants for the average person but if you love salsa verde and tomatillos as much as me it’s just the right amount! One reason why I love growing a overabundance of tomatillos is becase I get to make Oven Roasted Tomatillos!

Once you remove them from the oven, the cooking possibilities are endless.  We love serving them over white rice for a easy weeknight meal.  You could also use this as a salsa on tacos or sandwiches.  It also makes a great soup stock!

My ultimate favorite way to use these is to throw them in the food processor with 1/2 cup chicken broth.  Then add the mixture to a pan, add cooked shredded chicken breast and cook for a few minutes, and then put the tomatillo chicken on burritos.  Delicious tacos are served!

    I’m making chili verde with the tomatillos, also roasting pablano, jalapeños & Anaheim peppers…I use a slow cooker for the pork (after searing, of course). I’m writing to ask about the fabulous juices from the roasting the tomatillos, wouldn’t that be a tasty broth to cook all in?

    You can also use the juice for tamale dough if you’re making savory tamales. Yuum

    This recipe for roasted tomatillos looks perfect! If I use a water bath to can them, do I need to acidify the jars? Any recommendation for how long to process them? (I would most likely use quart jars.) Thank you!

      I would love to know this as well! Are they acidic enough on their own or should we be adding more acidity? Thank you.

    I hate to throw out all that yummy juice after roasting the tomatillos. Next time I’m going to use it to simmer my chicken in, before shredding it for tacos or enchiladas. Does anyone else have a use for all that juice?
