Sun-dried Tomato Grain-free Crackers
The cleanest cracker ever: this one’s made from vegetables and flax seeds, nothing more. For all you grain-free, dairy-free, low-carb, vegan, clean-eating, cracker-missing, Paleo people: this one’s for you!
Makes about 2 dozen crackers
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups flax seeds
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped zucchini
1 small bunch scallions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1. Combine sun-dried tomatoes with warm water to cover in a small bowl. Combine flax seeds with cool water to cover in a separate bowl. Let both stand for 2 hours. Strain tomatoes, reserving soaking liquid. Drain flax; discard soaking liquid.
2. Combine tomatoes with bell pepper, zucchini, scallions, garlic, basil, salt and pepper; puree until smooth, adding tomato soaking liquid as needed to process; mixture should be like a thick batter.
3. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in flax seeds. Drop mixture by tablespoons on dehydrator sheets, pressing with the back of a spoon to make them into thin rounds (about the thickness of a cracker). Dehydrate at 105 for 16 to 24 hours until dry and crisp. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks (or longer if refrigerated).
