Ingredients

  • 1 cup black sesame seeds
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil plus more as needed
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Put a pan on medium heat and lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes. They should darken in color and get a light, nutty flavor.
  • Add the sesame seeds and salt to a food processor. Process for about 2-3 minutes or until the seeds have formed a fine powder.
  • Continue to run the food processor and slowly drizzle in the avocado oil. Run the food processor for another 3-5 minutes (a long time!) or until the seeds form a thick, runny, deep black paste.
  • Once you reach your desired consistency, stir in the honey.
  • Put in a jar or air-tight container and store in a cool, dry place. Use as needed!
