Equipment

  • Baking sheet if roasting
  • Oven or skillet
  • Food processor or high-speed blender
  • Spatula
  • Airtight glass jar for storage

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw shelled pistachios (unsalted)
  • 1-2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado or grapeseed oil work well) this is optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt this is optional and to your taste
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup or agave this is optional, for a lightly sweet version

Instructions
 

Optional Roasting (I recommend for deeper flavor)

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread pistachios evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once. Let cool slightly.

Blend

  • Add pistachios to a food processor. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture will go from crumbly to paste-like.

Smooth It Out

  • Add oil (if using), salt, and sweetener. Continue blending for another 2 to 4 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Adjust Texture & Taste

  • Blend longer for ultra-smooth butter or leave slightly chunky. Adjust salt or sweetness as desired.

Store

  • Transfer to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
