How to Make Flax Seed Crackers

A simple recipe that even the ‘beginners’ to health food and anti-inflammatory lifestyle and diet can make.  No special kitchen gadgets to make these!

Recipe:

2 cups whole flax seeds
3 cups water
1 tsp salt
1/4 c. chopped green chiles
1/4 c. bell pepper
1/4 c. chopped cilantro
1/8 c. chopped red onion
2 tsp. chopped garlic

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let set for 10-15 minutes, until it forms into a gel. While waiting, place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and heat oven to 175 degrees. Once the flax seeds have ‘gelled’, spread out onto parchment paper evenly. Place in oven and let bake for about 2 hours. Take out of oven after 2 hours and then use parchment to flip crackers. Let bake for another 20-30 minutes until firm. Once fully baked, either break them into cracker-sized pieces or cut with scissors for neater presentation.
