Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Homemade Tahini.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, spread a generous layer of sesame seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
Step 3
Once the oven is ready, pop the baking sheet inside and let the seeds toast for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remember to give the sheet a gentle shake every few minutes to ensure even toasting and keep a close eye on them to avoid any burning mishaps.
Step 5
When they’re beautifully golden and fragrant, take them out and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Now, grab your food processor and add the cooled sesame seeds along with 1 1/2 cups of olive oil.
Step 7
Blend the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until it transforms into a smooth, creamy delight.
Step 8
If you find the tahini a bit too thick for your liking, don’t hesitate to drizzle in a little more olive oil and blend again until you reach that perfect, thick yet pourable consistency.
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade tahini in your favorite dishes!.
