Ingredients: pulp from 1 head of kale 1/4 c flax meal 1/4 c chis seeds 1/3 c nutritional yeast 1/4 tsp salt and pepper 1/4 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/4 c water
Method:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
-
Use a food processor to blend all ingredients until well combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides to make sure everything is well incorporated.
-
Place mixture on a baking sheet - I used a silpat nonstick baking mat to help with flipping and avoiding any issues with sticking.
-
Use a baking spatula, or your hands to flatten cracker to desired thickness. ~1/4" thick is what I typically do.
-
Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife (be careful not to cut your silpat if using one!) to cut into desired size and shape crackers.
-
At ~1/4" thickness bake for 10 min and then, flip and cook for another ~25 min. See pictures in recipe using QR code.
Checking periodically until you reach your desired texture- removing the crisped 'quackers' as they bake to avoid over cooking them. NOTE*** Using a dehydrator is a great option, if you have one!
Serve them up with any dish you would like to add a side of crunch with!
In my opinion, these are the best served straight out of the oven. They are not very good the next day as they get a bit soft because of the chia seeds. The thinner they are the more potential they have for being good crunchy 'leftovers.' I juice every day so I have fresh pulp to make new ones as desired.
