Vegan Gluten-Free Sesame Bars

First of all, you have to toast the sesame seeds. Do it on an ungreased skillet, and on high heat, but with constant stirring. Itll take about four to five minutes to get them golden brown, and once theyre done, transfer them into a bowl or a plate. Next, using the same skillet (no need to wash), cook sugar, vanilla, and three tbsp of water over medium heat. Keep stirring until all of the sugar has melted (about ten minutes), then add the sesame seeds while stirring.

You shouldnt transfer it into a pan until its thickened, so if its still syrupy, then youll have to keep stirring until its ready. Immediately spread the mixture on a greased baking pan as soon as it gets harder to stir, and press it using a steel spatula to even it out. Wait for it to cool down (about fifteen minutes) before cutting. These are good to eat by themselves, with ice-creams, or even sorbets.
