Skip the store-bought jar and whip up your own tahini with just the push of a button. Buy sesame seeds in bulk to keep costs down, and take care not to over-toast the seeds to prevent bitter flavors from developing. Then use tahini to add creaminess and a wonderfully earthy edge to dressings, hummus, baked goods and more.

Ingredients

2 cups
hulled white sesame seeds

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F. Spread sesame seeds on rimmed baking sheet and toast until lightly golden (do not let darken), about 10 minutes. Transfer to second rimmed baking sheet and let cool completely.
2. Step 2In food processor (make sure it’s completely dry before adding ingredients), process cooled sesame seeds, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth, pourable paste forms, 5 to 6 minutes. Refrigerate tahini in jar or airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
