Spread sesame seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are lightly golden and fragrant. (10-12 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the toasted sesame seeds to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Blend until a smooth paste forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add more olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (5-7 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month. Stir well before each use. (2 minutes)
Toast the sesame seeds carefully; they burn easily. A light golden color and fragrant aroma indicate they're ready.
For a more intense flavor, use hulled sesame seeds.
If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use untoasted sesame seeds, but the tahini will lack some depth.
The amount of olive oil needed may vary depending on the dryness of the sesame seeds. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
