Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw shelled pistachios
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the raw shelled pistachios evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the pistachios in the oven for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they don’t burn. They should smell fragrant and begin to turn a light golden brown.
Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the slightly cooled pistachios to a high-powered food processor.
Begin processing the pistachios, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
After about 3-4 minutes of blending, add the coconut oil and sea salt to the food processor.
If desired, add honey at this point for a touch of sweetness.
Continue blending for another 3-5 minutes or until the pistachio butter is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary – you can add more salt or honey based on your preference.
Transfer the pistachio butter to a glass jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your paleo pistachio butter on fruits, crackers, or as a delicious addition to smoothies!
