2) bake for about 15 minutes at 375. I broiled them on high for a few minutes too⁣

3) toast some bread. Top with some coconut yogurt, roasted persimmons, granola, and date syrup. Soo good!!⁣

Recipe: Cranberry Salsa with Cilantro and Chiles

THANKSGIVING SALSA

I found this recipe almost 5 years ago while thumbing through my Mom’s Bon Appétit Magazine archive (okay magazine pile :) and since then it has become a staple at my family’s Thanksgiving table! Every year we find we make more and more of it ! It features fresh cranberries, serrano chiles, cilantro, lime juice and pepitas! it is the perfect accompaniment to turkey and potatos basically everything on the thanksgiving plate and I even it by the spoonful! It’s so flavorful and refreshing, truly a thanksgiving game changer. It is also super easy to make and keeps well in the fridge and can be made ahead.

I have linked to the recipe below and because I have made it numerous times I have five quick tips!

5 Quick Tips and Tricks when making Cranberry Salsa with Cilantro and Chiles!

  1. Double or triple it! it so good you will want more !

  2. Wear gloves! The recipe calls for minced seeded serrano chiles. Wear gloves when chopping the Serrano’s ! Nothing is worse than accidentally touching your eye when you have touched a Serrano pepper .. or your mouth. The oil from the seeds will make everything taste like pepper for the rest of the day. 👎 Trust me on this one. Every time we have thought , oh we don’t need gloves.. we’ve regretted it.

  3. The recipe calls for pumpkin seed oil. I have never been able to find this for sale .. or remembered to look for it during thanksgiving shopping so no stress if you don’t have it. In I t’s place we have use walnut seed oil.. and even olive oil. It’s not super essential to the flavor.

  4. If you don’t have a food processor or it’s tied up with other thanksgiving dishes you can hand chop the cranberries them. This takes a little more time so budget for that or make it a team activity !

  5. see Tip number 2 again. WEAR Gloves when handling the Serranos

If you decide to make this recipe for Thanksgiving let us know how you like it !

Bon Appétit

& Happy Thanksgiving
