Roasting the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Husk the tomatillos and rinse them under water. Place the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft and slightly charred.

Blending the Sauce
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the ingredients to cool slightly. Transfer the roasted tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and cilantro into a blender. Add lime juice and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
