Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flaxseeds
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 medium, grated Carrot
- 1 medium, grated Zucchini
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1.5 cups Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flaxseeds and chia seeds with 1.5 cups of water. Stir to mix well and let sit for 15 minutes to form a gel-like consistency.
While the seeds are soaking, prepare the vegetables by grating the carrot and zucchini, and mincing the garlic.
In a food processor, combine the soaked seeds (including the water), grated carrot, grated zucchini, minced garlic, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, ground cumin, and sea salt.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse, well-combined dough. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure even mixing.
Line dehydrator trays with non-stick sheets or parchment paper. Spread the mixture evenly over the trays, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula or your hands to shape the dough into a rectangular or square shape.
Score the dough lightly with a knife to create the desired cracker sizes. This will make it easier to break into uniform pieces once dehydrated.
Dehydrate the crackers at 115°F (45°C) for 8-10 hours, flipping them halfway through and removing the non-stick sheet or parchment paper to ensure even drying.
When the crackers are completely dry and crisp, remove them from the dehydrator. Break along the scored lines into individual crackers.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
