Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unshelled pistachios
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the unshelled pistachios evenly on a large baking sheet.
Toast the pistachios in the oven for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. This step enhances the flavor of the pistachios.
Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the cooled pistachios to a food processor. Process on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the pistachios begin to form a paste.
Add the coconut oil and a pinch of salt to the food processor.
Continue processing the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pistachio butter reaches your desired level of creaminess and smoothness. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula occasionally.
Taste the pistachio butter and adjust the salt if necessary.
Once finished, transfer the pistachio butter to a glass jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
Enjoy your Whole30-compliant pistachio butter as a healthy spread or a dip.
