Homemade nut butter is easier than you think and tastes worlds better than the jar. Roasting the nuts first brings out their natural oils, and all you need is a food processor, a little patience and three simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) raw almonds
- 1 cup (150 g) raw cashews
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan-forced).
- Spread the almonds and cashews on a baking tray and roast for 8–10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Cool for 10 minutes. The nuts should still be slightly warm.
- Tip into a high-speed food processor and process for 10–12 minutes, scraping down the sides every couple of minutes. The nuts will go from crumbs to a thick paste, then turn silky and smooth.
- Add the salt, pulse to combine and spoon into a clean jar.
