Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Neutral-flavored oil (e.g., grapeseed oil or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Begin by toasting the sesame seeds: Place a dry skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds.
Stir frequently with a wooden spoon or gently shake the pan to prevent burning. Toast the seeds until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the seeds from the pan and allow them to cool completely. This step enhances the nutty flavor of the sesame butter.
Once the sesame seeds have cooled, transfer them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
Blend the seeds on medium speed in short bursts for about 1-2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
As the mixture becomes finer, drizzle in the neutral-flavored oil while blending. This helps achieve a creamy, smooth texture.
Continue blending until the sesame butter reaches your desired consistency (this may take 3-5 minutes total).
If you prefer your sesame butter slightly sweetened, add the honey and a pinch of salt, then blend again to incorporate.
Transfer the finished sesame butter to an airtight jar or container for storage.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir if separation occurs before use. Enjoy as a spread, dip, or ingredient in your favorite dishes!
