Quick and Easy Homemade Tahini
Make this homemade easy and quick tahini and enjoy either on its own with veggies and crackers or use in hummus, energy bars, and salad dressings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sesame seeds hulled
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or any other
Instructions
- Heat an iron skillet over medium heat on stove top*. Spread white sesame seeds evenly in the skillet. Toast seeds till golden-brown and fragrant. Alternatively, you can evenly spread sesame seeds directly on a baking tray (without using any parchment or wax paper) and toast in the oven preheated to 350 degree Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.
- Bring toasted sesame seeds to room temperature.
- Process in a food processor with oil till well mixed and reaches the consistency of seed butter.*
Notes
*I have not made it, but you could also blend this in a blender. My guess is that you may need more oil. Please leave a comment about your experience, if you make it in blender.
Make it low-fat
Use 1/2 tbsp of oil per cup to reduce fat.
Often I process roasted sesame seeds without adding any oil. It is basically sesame powder, but it works out fine if I am using it as an ingredient in other recipes and not as butter.
