This summer is time to kick up your salsa by roasting pineapples and jalapenos for salsa. Fresh pineapple is roasted to bring out the natural sugars giving it a sweeter and smoky flavor.
Fresh and healthy, Roasted Pineapple Salsa Recipe gives tacos, salads, and burgers an out-of-this-world flavor. You may also serve it traditionally as a dip with tortilla chips… or eat it right out of the bowl with a spoon like I did. No judging!

- If you prefer to grill, you may opt to grill the pineapple and jalapeno, low and slow, for this recipe instead of roasting them in the oven.
- I used one jalapeno. You may want to use two.
- I recommend tasting jalapenos before adding them to any recipe. They vary greatly in level of heat.
How to pick a ripe pineapple
- Once a pineapple is picked, it will not ripen further.
- First, smell the bottom of the pineapple, not the crown. It should smell sweet, but not fermented.
- Give it a slight squeeze. A ripe pineapple will give slightly, yet still be firm.
- As well, it should be golden with green healthy leaves.
- Pineapples should be well developed with rounded edges, the eyes should be filled out, but flat.
- Furthermore, avoid pineapples with wrinkled or cracked skin. Also, avoid pineapples with reddish-brown spots, or brown withering leaves.
- Finally, a ripe pineapple will also be heavy for its size.
