Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

3. Spread the mixture on a sheet pan and roast in the oven at 400°F until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool after roasting.
4. After cooling, place the roasted tomatillo mixture in a food processor with the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and additional salt. Process until the desired consistency is achieved.
