Dark Roasted Nut Butter

It’s difficult to beat homemade nut butter. We roast our nuts at a high temperature to create a deep roasted and caramelised flavour.

• You can easily mix up this recipe and use peanuts, hazelnuts or almonds instead.
• Keep a close eye on those nuts when they’re in the oven! You want them to darken to create that ‘dark roast’ flavour, but you want to avoid burning them!
• You can store this nut butter in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
