Salted macadamia butter, banana and honey crostinis recipe

Ingredients

Salted macadamia butter

  • 500g macadamias – whole nuts, halves or pieces
  • 1 tsp natural salt flakes

To serve

  • 8 slices thick cut sourdough bread
  • 8 tbsp salted macadamia butter
  • 4 lady finger bananas, sliced
  • 4 tbsp raw honey
  • Natural salt flakes
  • Chia seeds

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 140°C.
  2. Place the macadamias onto a baking tray.
  3. Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even colour (the macadamias should be a light golden brown).
  4. Place the roasted macadamias into a food processor.
  5. Add the salt and blend for 1-2 minutes until the macadamias begin to break down into a paste and release their natural oils. Whether you prefer crunchy or smooth will dictate how long you continue to blend for.
  6. Once the butter has reached your desired consistency, transfer to a 500ml sterilised, airtight jar and keep in the pantry or refrigerator.
  7. To serve, arrange warm, toasted sourdough slices onto a serving board. Spread with macadamia butter, and top with slices of banana and a drizzle of honey.
  8. Garnish with salt flakes and chia seeds. Enjoy!

Tips

A food processor is all you need to transform macadamia pieces into macadamia butter – a versatile condiment you’ll want to use daily! Feel free to experiment with your own seasonal macadamia butter crostini toppers.
