Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw unsalted shelled nuts
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp avocado oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Spread nuts on rimmed baking sheet; bake at 350°F until toasted and fragrant, about 10 min.
  • Transfer nuts to a dry food processor and process, scraping down sides occasionally, until nuts turn into smooth paste, 4 to 10 min. (Timing will vary based on type of nuts and your specific food processor.)
  • Add salt and flavor boosters and process until smooth. If butter is too thick, add oil 1 tsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached.
