Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 cups sesame seeds, and spread them out evenly in a single layer.
  2. Toast until they are a light golden brown. Stir throughout the toasting process and watch them closely so they don't burn. You will need to toast them in several batches.
  3. Once all the seeds are toasted and cooled, add them to a food processor or high-powered blender.
  4. Blend for 2-3 minutes or until the seeds are crumbly and dry.
  5. Add in ¼ cup olive oil, and blend for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
  6. Add more oil if needed or desired for a runnier texture.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use in recipes!
