Veggie Flax Crackers

Here’s my favorite variation of the flax cracker recipe I originally got from Misty Humphrey of Healthy Transitions. Like my plain Flax Crackers, they’re delicious and crispy, and sturdy enough to spread yummy things on.
The carrots give a wonderful reddish-orange color. Feel free to try different seasoning combos. These are great to take to work for an afternoon snackerel of something. Very nice when you’re satisfied, satiety-wise, but want something fun and crunchy. And sooo tasty!
You will need
- Parchment paper
- Dehydrator
- Nutribullet, coffee grinder, blender or food processor
- Helpful: a spatula with a flexible head, like silicon or something else rubbbery
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole golden flax seeds (regular flax seeds will work, too)
- 2 green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes, or drained canned tomatoes
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- Grind 1 cup of the flax seeds to power using a coffee grinder (in batches), food processor, or Nutribullet-type blender.
- Blend green onions, carrots and tomatoes.
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let soak for 12 to 24 hours.
- The flax will absorb the water and puff up to form a thick batter.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper for each tray.
- Each piece should fit your dehydrator trays exactly, so it lays flat in the tray.
- Tip: You can stack layers of paper and cut them all at once.
- Tip: if you have silicon liners, you might not need to use parchment paper.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper in each tray.
- Spread the batter about 1/8″ deep evenly over the parchment paper.
- Dehydrate 24 hours at 105°.
- You can optionally flip the cracker halfway through.
- Carefully peel the cracker from the parchment.
- Carefully flip and replace on the parchment.
- You can optionally flip the cracker halfway through.
- Peel the crackers from the parchment, and enjoy!
