Raw Sun Dried Tomato Flaxseed Crackers

Naturopath Lauren Glucina
These flaxseed crackers are a staple in my home now, made with golden flax, they are high in fibre and essential fatty acids. This recipe makes a huge batch. Note the active prep time is 20 minutes but this excludes both the soaking time (30 minutes) and dehydrating time (approximately 10 hours).

Equipment

  • Dehydrator

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups golden flax seeds
  • ½ cup pecans
  • 2 cups organic sun dried tomatoes
  • 4 large cloves of garlic peeled and minced
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian herbs
  • Pinch or two of cayenne powder more if you like it spicy
  • 1 tablespoon 100% pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • ½ cup tightly packed fresh basil minced
  • ½ cup tightly packed fresh parsley minced

Instructions
 

  • In a very large mixing bowl, soak your flax seeds with 6 cups of water for around 30 minutes, or until they have gelled up. Meanwhile, put the pecans in a small bowl, only just cover them with water, and let soak for 30 minutes. Put the sun dried tomatoes in a separate bowl, add 1 cup of warm water, and let soak for the same amount of time.
  • Once soaked, add the pecans and sundried tomatoes with their soak water to a blender and whiz till combined. You’ll get a thick paste. Add this to the flax bowl.
  • Add all other ingredients to the flax bowl and mix in by hand till well combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over dehydrator trays lined with the teflex paper (or baking paper). As a rule of thumb: 3 heaped cups of mixture per tray. Aim to spread it evenly – at least .5cm thick (otherwise they will break). You should get three to four trays out of this.
  • Dehydrate at 145˚C for 2-3 hours, then remove the trays. Place a new dehydrator tray, with just the mesh sheet and no teflex, over the cracker, then flip them over. Gently peel off the teflex sheet – I found that quite a bit stuck to the sheet –that’s ok, just scrape it off and place it on a new tray so you don’t waste it.
  • Dehydrate again at 115˚C for another 6-8 hours or until dry. Once dry, break them up either by hand or using a knife – expect this process to be a little rustic!
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Nutrition panel is an estimate only and is for 1 of 100 crackers. 100 crackers should be equal to about 4 full dehydrator trays.
