Testing Raw Flax Crackers

The first recipe I tried was just soaked flax, water and salt. It is still in the dehydrator. I am just getting a feel for the process before I accidently waste other yummy foods in the testing process. I also have a batch in the right now that is the original recipe plus green onions and spices. Then I put about 1/3 of the mixture and ground it up in the blender briefly. I think that is closer to this. Just trying to figure out what will stick together and what will not. : ) But this next recipe looks great!!

Total time: 10 hours 20 mins

Serves: 4

This is a great recipe for utilizing your leftover juice pulp to make a great, raw snack. Paired with a simple, yet delicious guacamole dip it is sure to please.

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Vegetable Pulp Leftover from Juicing, mine was made up of Carrots and Chard
• 1 Cup Water
• 1/2 Cup Raw Pepitas
• 1/2 Cup Ground Flaxseed
• 1/4 Cup Chia Seeds
• 3 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
• 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
• 1/3 tsp. Black Pepper
• 3 Avocados, Pitted
• 1 Cup Tomato, Diced
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1/3 tsp. Garlic Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Black Pepper

Directions

1. In a food processor pulse together the vegetable pulp, water, raw pepitas, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, sea salt and pepper. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the processor so that it is fully incorporated.
2. The cracker mixture will be thick, almost like cookie dough. Spread the mixture 1/4″ thick onto two Paraflexx sheets and place them in a dehydrator at 115°F for 5 hours.
3. When the edges start to peel off of the sheet a bit, flip the cracker slab over (unless it is still too moist in the center). Dehydrate for another 5-6 hours or until the crackers are crunchy and hard.
4. Break the cracker slabs into smaller, chip-sized pieces.
5. In a small mixing bowl mash together the avocado, tomato, lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper; serve with the flaxseed crackers.
