Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw pistachios shelled
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place pistachios on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 8-10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Cool the pistachios on the pan completely.
  • Place the pistachios in a food processor or a high-powered blender. Blend continuously, as you scrape the sides down. The consistency will turn moist and gritty, and then to a creamy and smooth texture.
  • Once it reaches your desired consistency, add salt and blend to combine. Taste to add more salt, if needed.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
