Instructions
Preheat oven to 177°C (350°F).
Add the cashews to a lined baking tray and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn, giving the tray a shake as needed.
Remove the cashews from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Add the roasted cashews to a food processor and process for 5 minutes before stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Continue processing until the butter is beginning to liquify a little. Add the oil and salt and continue processing until the butter is smooth and thick. This may take around 10-minutes depending on your machine.
Transfer the cashew butter to a sealed jar or container and store in a cool pantry for up to 2 months or in the refrigerator for around 4 months.

Notes
Tip 1:While you can make cashew butter in a blender, a processor is easier. You don't have to stop to scrape the bowl down as often and a processor just seems to make shorter work of the process.Tip 2: You can totally make homemade cashew butter without adding oil but it does help the processing along a little.
