Flax Crackers

Servings: 16 crackers

A crunchy, nutritious, and tasty snack. Good with dips, spreads, or just by themselves.

1 Cup Flaxseed Meal

11⁄2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1⁄2 Teaspoon Salt

1⁄2 Cup Water

1⁄4 - 1⁄3 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated (Optional)

Heat oven to 400º F. Mix all ingredients together. Spoon onto sheet pan which is covered with lightly greased parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment or waxed paper. Roll out the mixture to about 1⁄8 inch trying to keep it even all the way across. Remove the paper and push any thinned out edges towards the middle so they don’t cook before the center. Bake until the center is no longer soft, about 15-18 minutes. Do not let it brown around the edges. Let cool completely. Cut into pieces with a pizza cutter or just break into pieces.

Tip: Feel free to experiment with the spices in this recipe. You can use chili powder, cumin, Italian herbs, curry powder, tumeric, sesame seeds, onion powder, crushed red pepper, kelp powder, etc.
