Easy Homemade Tahini Recipe - How to Make Tahini

Making tahini at home is easy and much less expensive than buying from the store. We recommend looking for sesame seeds in bulk bins or at International, Asian and Middle Eastern markets for the best deals. While tahini can be made from unhulled, sprouted and hulled sesame seeds, we prefer to use hulled (or natural) sesame seeds for tahini. Tahini can be kept in the refrigerator for a month.

Homemade Tahini Ingredients (the recipe is on Inspired Taste)
• 1 cup (5 ounces or 140 grams) sesame seeds, we prefer hulled

• Pinch of salt, optional

Thanks for keeping it so simple without lots of drama. I am so happy to have found this.

[TheRealHonestInquiry]

I just made this, I found tasting a few seeds at a time while they toasted helped me to find the sweet spot between reducing the bitterness and burning them. I used a small/personal Ninja blender and scraped it down with spatula a few times and it came out great :) Thank you!

For lower fat/calories it can be done with water instead of oil, the sesame flavor remains strong plus you can add garlic, spices, etc to make it a healthy dip

I didn't know it was this easy to make tahini sauce.

[bobanderson]

I like that little compartment you keep your salt in.

[Georgiasomar]

I just made this today as well as your hummus recipe and both of them came out PERFECT. You saved me a nice bit of money on the tahini recipe. My sesame seeds were around $4.75 for a nice size bag but the pre made paste was over $8.00 and I still have a lot of seeds left to make more paste with! We love sriracha in my house so I added 1tbs of it to my hummus and OMG it is even more DELISH!!!! Thanks for these recipes!

The easiest method of preparing Tahini on YouTube.

Count me in as a new subscriber! Love your videos. They are short and to the point. Unlike the big cooking shows on TV, you guys demonstrate how to do it in a normal sized kitchen with normal people. Thanks for giving so much to the community!

[cornishtt]

thanks so much for this! I have been eating and using tahini my whole life and it has NEVER occurred to me to make my own until I watched your video. I will be doing this today, thanks to you guys. :)

*Thank you, nice people. I never knew this is possible!* 🙏❤️😊

[knowledgeseeker]

Thank you. So many vegan chefs talk about tahini sauce but they never say what it is made of and how to make it. They expect the viewers to automatically know what it is. Thans for sharing.

[rekkiesbub]

Visually speaking, your videos are awesome, they're well-filmed and the audio sounds tranquil as hell . I really like it

[Athecubus]

Didn’t know tahini is sesame seeds and oil. That’s so easy!

[nessalou]

I can't believe I never realised how easy this was to make! I lived in Vietnam for 3 years and used to get my family to send over tahini in the post!!

[SweetTea]

My goodness... You guys did an amazing job with the camera work and editing. Everything looked very clean, professional, polished and chic :) Great recipe too lol!

[konstantinahey]

I donlt have a food processor so i made it with a coffee grinder! i just added honey and it came out delicious 😊😊😊

[yasminesayadi]
