Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt; more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons honey; more as needed

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and toast for 8 to 10 minutes until golden-brown and fragrant. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, put the almonds and salt in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the universal blade. Pulse 5 to 6 times to break up almonds. While the unit is running, slowly stream in the oil and honey. Process until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Taste and adjust salt or sweetness as desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
