Rosemary & Salt Flackers
SERVES 25
45g ground flaxseed*
60g pumpkin seeds
100g flaxseed
1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
1 teaspoon salt
175ml water
*grind flaxseeds with blender or buy already ground
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F)
In a large bowl, mix together the ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, rosemary and salt.
Add water, stir to well combined and set aside for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Transfer the mixture onto a piece of greaseproof, and bring it together to form a round ball.
Place another sheet of greaseproof on top and flatten down the mixture.
Using your hand, the back of a wooden spoon, or a rolling pin, flatten the mixture till it’s about 1/2cm thick.
Remove the top paper, and bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
Allow to cool, and snap into irregular cracker shards.
Store in a cool, dry place, in an airtight box.
Serve with your favourite dips and pate, or eat them just as they are for a crunchy, crispy, salty snack.
