Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons neutral oil (optional, for thinner consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread cashews on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cashews to a food processor. Process for 1 minute, then scrape down sides.
- Continue processing for 5-8 minutes, scraping as needed, until smooth and creamy. Add salt and oil if desired, then blend briefly.
- Transfer to an airtight jar. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey.
- If butter is too thick, add oil 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency.
- Use raw cashews for best results; roasted salted cashews may alter flavor.
- Stir before each use if oil separates.
