Salted macadamia butter, banana and honey crostinis

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

Preheat oven to 140°C.
Place the macadamias onto a baking tray.
Roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even colour (the macadamias should be a light golden brown).
Place the roasted macadamias into a food processor.
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.
Once the butter has reached your desired consistency, transfer to a 500ml sterilised, airtight jar and keep in the pantry or refrigerator.
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.
Garnish with salt flakes and chia seeds. Enjoy!
