They are a perfect addition to lunches topped with avocado, entertaining with dips or a snack for any time of the day! And they were really simple to make :)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole flaxseeds
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 1 carrot grated
- 1 capsicum grated
- 1 handful fresh spinach leaves chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh mixed herbs (optional)
Preparation:
In a medium sized bowl, cover the flax seed crackers with water and allow to soak for at least 1 1/2 hours. The water will turn to a gelatinous goo. Check the mixture, and add more water if needed, aim for the mixture to be gooey, but not runny, and not too thick.
Stir in the tamari, I let mine sit another 10-15minutes. Then add the sesame seeds, mixed herbs, grated carrot, spinach leaves and capsicum. The capsicum was a little tricky to grate but worth it! . You can also get creative and add some extra flavors - a quirt of lime juice, minced ginger, chili powder or cayenne pepper - depending on your tastes.

Spread the mixture about 1/8 inch thick on a dehydrated paraflexx or teflex sheets, I left mine in Bunbury so used baking paper but beware it can stick a little!
Set your dehydrator to about 110 degrees, and dehydrate for 4-6 hours. Turn the mixture over pulling off the baking paper, if it is hard to get off leave in for another 2 hours or so before flipping. Once flipped dehydrate another 3 - 4 hours. If you like a crispy and crunchy cracker, dehydrate a bit longer. I like my flaxseed crackers a bit chewier, so I dehydrate them a bit less. Break or slice your crackers into pieces when finished dehydrating and they are ready to serve!
If you don't have a dehydrator you could easily made these in the oven, cook at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until they are at a desired crunch! I was so happy with my new snack and they tasted better than I expected, almost like a raw pizza base! Topped with avocado, sundried tomato's or any other topping is bliss :)
