Ingredients

2 to 3 cups shelled pistachios

Pinch of salt

1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup

1 to 3 teaspoons neutral oil (only if needed)

Directions

Roast: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 2 to 3 cups shelled pistachios on a tray in an even layer and roast for about 5 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Blend: Transfer the warm pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until the mixture becomes grainy and crumbly.

Continue blending: Stop and scrape down the sides, then blend again on high. Keep blending even if it looks dry. The natural oils will release and the mixture will turn creamy.

Season: Add a pinch of salt and blend again until smooth and spreadable.

Finish: Once silky and loose, transfer to a jar. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Optional: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or 1 to 3 teaspoons neutral oil if the mixture struggles to loosen. Blend until fully incorporated.
