Tahini Recipe (Super Easy and Creamy!)
It’s super easy to make homemade tahini in a blender! All you need are sesame seeds and olive oil for a fresh, creamy, and smooth texture. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Servings: 16 servings
Equipment
- Vitamix Blender My favorite high-powered blender for the smoothest texture.
- Le Parfait Glass Jars Great canning jars for storage!
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds. Gently toast the sesame seeds (stirring constantly) on medium-low for 5 minutes, or until slightly golden. Then, let them cool to room temperature.
- Blend. Once the sesame seeds have cooled, add them to your high-powered blender. Blend on high for one minute, using the tamper to push the seeds into the blades, creating a tahini paste.
- Add oil. Add the olive oil and blend for another minute to create a creamy consistency.

Notes
- The recipe makes approximately 2 cups of tahini.
- If your Vitamix heats up strongly during the first mix, just turn down the blending a notch, pause, and re-blend as you go!
