Almond Sesame Chive Crackers

Makes about 40 crackers, depending on what size you cut them

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond meal
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/4 cup freeze dried chives
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 flax egg (2 tablespoons + 3 tablespoons warm water)
• 1/4 cup sunflower oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Salt Oil

• 1 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Whisk the sunflower oil and sea salt together in a small dish and set aside.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine the almond meal, flour, garlic powder, sea salt, chives and sesame seeds together in a medium mixing bowl
3. Whisk together the flaxseed and warm water in a small bowl to make your flax egg. Set aside a few minutes to thicken.
4. Add the oil, water and flax egg to the rest of the cracker ingredients and mix until combined and a ball of dough forms. You will have to get your hands in there to help make a ball of dough.
5. Roll the dough out about 1/8 of an inch thick on a piece of parchment paper. The thinner you roll it out, the crispier the crackers will be. Slice the dough with a knife or pizza cutter into small squares.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, watching carefully until lightly browned and crisp. Allow to cool completely before brushing with the salt oil and removing from the pan. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days. These are best eaten the first day. After a few days they are no longer crispy, but still yummy.

These crackers pair perfectly with a bowl of thick and creamy homemade tomato soup (recipe to come).
