Description

A simple and delicious homemade pistachio butter recipe that adds a rich, nutty flavor to your dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups raw unsalted pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional, for taste)
  • 12 teaspoons neutral oil (like grapeseed or avocado oil)
  • Optional Flavor Add-ins: Vanilla extract, honey, cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 3 cups of pistachios on a baking tray and roast for 7-10 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Let the pistachios cool completely.
  3. Put the cooled pistachios in a food processor and pulse to break them into smaller pieces. Then, blend continuously until you achieve a thick, creamy butter, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. If desired, add 1-2 teaspoons of neutral oil while blending for a smoother texture.
  5. Add optional flavors (e.g., vanilla extract, honey, cocoa powder) and blend for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Store the pistachio butter in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to one month or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

For a unique twist, try adding flavors like garlic powder for savory or white chocolate for something sweet.
