Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the cashews on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 2

Roast the cashews in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly golden.

Step 3

Allow the cashews to cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a food processor.

Step 4

Process the cashews on low speed, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until they reach a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 5

This may take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

If desired, add salt, oil, or sweetener to taste during processing.

Step 7

Store the cashew butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Chef’s notes

Roasting the cashews enhances their flavor and makes them easier to blend.

Be patient during processing; it may take some time for the cashews to release their natural oils and become creamy.

Adjust salt and sweeteners to your taste preference.
