Toast sesame seeds in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring so they don't burn. Remove seeds from heat and allow to cool for a minute.
Add the seeds to food processor and blend until smooth. Slowly add in the oil until a liquid like consistency is achieved.

If you have sesame seeds that were already toasted when you bought them, you can use them - but you should still warm them up in a pan on medium-low heat. It will help them release their oil when blending.
Store the unused tahini in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to 1 month.
