Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoon oil light olive oil, avocado oil, sunflower oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds in a large skillet set over low heat while continually stirring to prevent burning.
- Toast for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant and lightly golden in color, then remove the pan from the heat. Continue stirring as the heat from the pan will continue to cook the seeds until the pan is cool.
- Pour them into a blender and blend until they start to break down and clump together.
- Add in the olive oil and salt and blend again until smooth, scraping the sides down halfway through.
- Once smooth and combined, serve or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
