Ingredients
- 1 cup hulled sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat a clean, dry pan and add the sesame seeds over medium heat.
- In a dry pan over medium heat, toast sesame seeds, turning continuously to keep them from burning. Remove from the fire as soon as it turns golden brown. Sesame seeds are straightforward to burn, so handle them with care.
- Combine avocado oil and a pinch of salt in a food processor or high-speed blender. If you don't want to use all the oil, the tahini will be less smooth and spreadable. Two tablespoons of avocado oil should be enough to get a consistency close to store-bought.
- Process until smooth, making sure to stop the food processor or blender intermittently to scrape down the sides of the bowl. It took me about 7 minutes to turn into a smooth paste.
- Keep in an air-tight container.
