Raw Veggie Crackers Recipe – You will get around 4 Trays (30-40 crackers)
Recipe 1
Ingredients:
- 4 cups golden flax seeds
- 4 cups of celery and carrot vegetable pulp left over after juicer
- 4 cups of sunflower and pumpkin seeds
- 2 cups chia seeds
- 3 cups of yellow onion , and red pepper (the equivalent of 2 peppers and 1 yellow onion)
- 1 tablespoon. garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon. himalayan salt
- 3 TSP. chipotle seasoning, *optional
- 1 teaspoon. cayenne
Method:
- Step 1. Soak all of your seeds for at least 6 hours , or for more than the course of a night in clean water. I typically soak my nuts or seeds into the water before going to bed, before draining and washing at the first moment I get up. The seeds of chia and flax will turn into a gel-like substance.
- Second step. In your food processor, place 1 onion and two red peppers, or equivalent to 3 cups. Blend until it is close to liquid. Pour into an enormous bowl.
- Step 3. Add all of the seeds that you have soaked, as well as the four cups of veggie pulp that you have left after making celery and carrot juices. If you don’t have juiced your vegetables, you could simply put celery and carrot inside your food processor and process until they’re fully broken down, then pour it into the bowl along with all the ingredients. If you choose to do this, rather than using veggie pulp, crackers will be slower to dry because the mixture will have more water.
- Step 4. Thoroughly mix all ingredients until the cracker mix is evenly mixed. Scoop your mix onto the sheets of dehydrator and evenly distribute the mix and disperse it over it in the form of the shape of a square. Use your hands as a roll pin. Move your hands between your tray, until you have it uniformly, and thinly on the dehydrator sheet. The crackers should be thin, which means no more than 1/8 of an inch.
- The 5th step. Score your crackers to the size and shape you’d like them to have with a sharp tool such as spatulas, pizza cutters or the back of a big knife (be cautious).
- Step 6. Set your dehydrator to 110-115, and then allow it to dehydrate for 12 hours.

Method:
- Within your food processor put in the pepper and onion. blend until the mixture is nearly liquid. transfer to an enormous bowl.

- Scoop the mixture out onto the dehydrator sheets, then put it all over rough square.
- Use your hands or the spoon’s back to spread the mix until it’s about one 8/8 of an inch. (Quite slim).
