Keto Crackers
INGREDIENTS
1 TBSP chia seeds
1/4 cup water
1 cup almond flour/meal
1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
SPICES RECOMMENDED
1/4 TSP cumin
1/2 TSP celtic sea salt
1/2 TSP garlic powder
1 TSP nutritional yeast
METHOD
Preheat oven to 200C degrees.
In a small bowl, add the chia seeds and water. Stir with a spoon to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes or until a gel-like texture forms.
In another large mixing bowl, add almond meal, olive oil, spices, and the chia seed gel once formed.
Knead dough by hands, squeezing it between your fingers to incorporate the chia gel into the almond meal until it forms a dough. It shouldn't take more than 1 minute to form a dough ball.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, and roll out with a rolling pin as thinly as possible.
Remove the top layer of parchment paper, cut into even rectangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Move the dough with parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 6 minutes, check the colour, and stop baking as soon as you reach a golden brown colour. For very thin chips, it takes 6-7 minutes. For thicker chips, it can take up to 8-9 minutes. I recommend baking for 6 minutes then checking every 1 minute to avoid burning the chips.
Remove from the oven when golden brown and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Break apart the crackers and serve with a simple avocado dip or basil and nut dip. Yum!
