Best Roasted Pistachio Butter Recipes
THE ONLY BASIC PISTACHIO BUTTER RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED
Homemade pistachio butter is one of the healthiest types of nut butters you can make. Pistachios are pricier than other nuts, but their powerful nutrition and delicate flavor make them worth the investment. Low in calories and fat, and rich in protein, pistachios boast some of the best bang-for-your-buck nutrition you can get from a nut. Memorize our basic pistachio butter recipe, then spice it up with any combination of ingredients-try ground cinnamon, vanilla bean paste, ground cardamom, grated orange zest, or even melted dark chocolate. Spread this luscious nut butter over toast, swirl it into homemade oatmeal, or mix it into cookie batter (swap peanut butter for pistachio butter in this thumbprint cookie recipe). For best results, use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or a Ninja. (You can also use a food processor, but the nuts will take longer to break down.)

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. If your pistachios are not shelled, shell them before beginning.
- Place the shelled pistachios and salt in the bowl of a food processor . Close the lid and process.
- In the first minute or so, the pistachios will begin to grind into a fine powder.
- As the food processor continues to run, the powder will begin to thicken slightly. For a few minutes, the ground nuts will remain powdery, but don't be concerned. As the mixture continues to process, the fats in the pistachio nuts will release.
- Eventually, the powdery consistency will transform into the thick "buttery" consistency we associate with nut butter. If you prefer a slightly thinner nut butter, you can drizzle in a very small amount of neutral-flavored oil like vegetable oil or canola oil into the food processor as it runs.
- Once the pistachio butter has achieved the desired consistency, spoon into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy.

ROASTED PISTACHIO BUTTER
Pistachios contain less fat than other nuts, but they are still packed with protein and flavor, making them a fantastic choice for nut butter. Some brands contain sugar or hydrogenated oil, but you can make your own with just nuts - and maybe 1/4 cup pumpkin or sunflower seeds. For deeper flavor, roast the raw pistachios before blending. The seeds add a satisfying crunch and a more intense nut flavor, while a pinch of ground cardamom takes pistachio butter in a new direction. Swirl the finished product into your breakfast oatmeal or smoothie.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and nicely toasted, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, 30 minutes.
- Place nuts in a food processor along with seeds, if using, and purée until smooth, about 8 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed (mixture may clump up, but will eventually become creamy). Season to taste with salt, if desired. Pistachio butter will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.
