Ingredients
- 1 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Dried tomato powder
- 1 tablespoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes until it thickens into a gel-like consistency.
Step 3
Add the dried tomato powder, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to evenly incorporate the spices.
Step 4
Pour in the olive oil and mix until the dough comes together and feels pliable but not overly sticky.
Step 5
Place the dough onto the lined baking sheet. Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 6
Carefully remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into squares or rectangles to form the cracker shapes.
Step 7
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are dry and crisp to the touch. Flip them halfway through baking if needed for even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break them apart along the scored lines.
Step 9
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy them as a snack or serve with your favorite spreads and dips.
