Hommade Almond Butter
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of raw almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and roast them for 10-12 minutes or until fragrant and lightly golden. Allow the almonds to cool for a few minutes.
