I’ve been enrolled in a Professional Plant-based Culinary Certification Course with Rouxbe. This week, one of my creations was Raw Crackers which are so incredibly tasty and beautiful that I’m sharing the recipe, and step-by-step raw food process with you. Once you make these crackers, I have a feeling that you’ll never want to eat processed crackers again. Enjoy!
Raw Dehydrated Organic Flax Seed & Almond Crackers
SIMPLE INGREDIENTS
Simple Ingredients MIse en Place
- ¾ cup golden flax seeds, ground, then soaked in 1.5 cups of water
- ¾ cup raw almonds, soaked for 2 to 3 hours, until soft, drained
- 1 ¼ cup yellow bell pepper
- 2-3 green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked and drained (use my own dehydrated Roma tomatoes)
- 1 ½ TBSP onion granules
- 1 tsp sea salt
- SIMPLE STEPS: Make the Batter
- Blend flax seeds and almonds in food processor until smooth
- Blend all remaining ingredients (separate from flax seeds and almonds) in food processor until smooth
- Add the vegetable ingredients to the flax seed/almond mixture, and fold to thoroughly combine
SIMPLE STEPS: Dehydrate the Crackers
- Set dehydrator at 115 degrees (I use an Excalibur, which I love!)
- Evenly spread mixture, less than ¼ inch thick, on a non-stick dehydrator sheet (or parchment paper)
- Dry in dehydrator for 2 to 3 hours, then score into crackers
- Dry for another 2 to 3 hours, then flip crackers onto dehydrator trays (without the parchment paper or non-stick dehydrator sheet)
- Dry for an additional 6 hours or until crisp
- Remove from trays and store in sealed container
- Enjoy your home-made raw crackers
