Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup raw almonds ((use blanched almonds for a smoother consistency))
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • optional: 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil ((any neutral flavored oil will work))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place then almonds on a sheet pan in a single layer, and roast until golden brown and fragrant, shaking the pan periodically for even roasting. This can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • Pulse the almonds with the salt in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Slowly add the oil while the machine is on, and continue to puree until smooth. This will take several minutes. Scrape down the sides periodically.
  • The food processor will heat up the almond butter, so it may need to chill before it's a spreadable consistency.
