This pistachio butter recipe only calls for pistachios and salt, but a little maple syrup or honey can be used as well. It’s also paleo and vegan.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and roast the pistachios on a baking sheet for 4 minutes. Stir and then roast for another 3-5 minutes or until fragrant.
Let cool for just 5-10 minutes, and then transfer the nuts to the food processor and process until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, about 6 to 12 minutes. Do not overheat your food processor! Take breaks if your food processor starts to warm up too much.
In the first stage, you’ll have something that looks like almond meal. Then it’ll form a thick mass. Then it’ll break down into a liquid.
Add the salt. After that, blend for another minute so it’s easily pourable. Add more salt to taste. If you want to add some sweetener (I don't use it), add 1 tablespoon, blend and taste. If it's not enough, add more.
Cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 month or freeze for 3.
