Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400⁰F, lay your almonds out on your sheet tray and toast until
   slightly golden and fragrant. Approximately 5 minutes (if not golden after 5 minutes, check in 1-
   2 minute increments as they can burn quickly.)

   smaller amount of oil/maple syrup and add more if needed.
4. Process until the almonds begin to break down into meal, stop and scrape down the side of the
   bowl, loosening any bits that are stuck together.
5. Puree until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
