Ingredients
- 300 grams raw pistachios
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoons honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoons neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Spread the raw pistachios evenly on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the pistachios in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. This step enhances the flavor of the pistachios.
Step 4
Remove the pistachios from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for around 5-10 minutes.
Step 5
Once cooled, transfer the roasted pistachios to a food processor.
Step 6
Process the pistachios for 2-3 minutes until they form a coarse meal. Stop to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Step 7
Continue processing, pausing to scrape down the sides occasionally, until the pistachios begin to release oils and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This may take an additional 3-5 minutes depending on your processor’s power.
Step 8
If desired, add the sea salt and honey for added flavor. Process for another minute until fully incorporated.
Step 9
If the pistachio butter is too thick, you can add the neutral oil and process until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 10
Transfer the pistachio butter to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 11
Enjoy your homemade pistachio butter as a spread, dip, or ingredient in various recipes!
