Instructions

In a large saucepan over medium low heat, toast the sesame seeds for 4-5 min, stirring constantly until they start to turn lightly golden and become fragrant. Be careful and watch the seeds closely as they can burn quickly! Remove from stovetop and let cool completely.
Once seeds have cooled, transfer them to a food processor and process on high for about 1 minute, until a crumbly paste forms.
Add oil, starting with 1 Tablespoon at a time and blend again on high until the tahini is a creamy, smooth consistency, about 3-4 minutes. You might have to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor a few times.
Taste the tahini and add salt to taste, if desired. Process a few more seconds to incorporate.
