- 4 cups hulled sesame seeds (640 grams)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (27 grams)
- 1 tsp salt
Heat a large, shallow pan over medium heat and add sesame seeds. Stir the sesame seeds constantly to toast evenly and avoid burning. Once seeds begin to turn golden, remove from hot pan immediately. I like to spread the sesame seeds on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
Once sesame seeds have cooled slightly, add them to the Vitamix blender container. Blend on low for 1-2 minutes, then drizzle in olive oil and salt through the lid plug while the seeds continue to blend.
Increase the blender speed to high, blending for 3-5 minutes using the tamper to push the seeds toward the blender blades. Note: the tahini and blender container will get very hot! I took mine off the blender base a couple times to cool slightly before continuing to blend until it reached the desired consistency.
