Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roast the Pistachios: Spread the pistachios evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 8-10 minutes, or until they become fragrant. Be sure not to burn them.
Cool the Pistachios: Remove the pistachios from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
Grind the Pistachios: Transfer the roasted pistachios to a high-speed blender or food processor. Start grinding, and be patient—it will take about 15-20 minutes to reach a butter-like consistency. During the process, stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor to ensure even grinding.
Add Salt: Once the pistachio butter reaches your desired creamy consistency, add the salt and grind for a few more seconds to incorporate it.
Store and Enjoy: Use a rubber spatula to transfer the pistachio butter into glass jars. It’s ready to enjoy!

If you prefer a smoother texture, continue grinding for a few more minutes, or add a small amount of neutral oil to make it creamier.

For a sweet twist, add maple syrup, honey, or any sweetener to taste.

If you enjoy richer flavors, consider adding cardamom or vanilla extract.

Keep an eye on the pistachios while roasting to prevent burning.
