Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Avocado oil | 1/4 cup |
| Celery sticks | 10 sticks |
| Fresh rosemary (stem discarded) | 1 sprig |
| Fresh thyme (stems discarded) | 2 sprigs |
| Apple cider vinegar | 2 tablespoons |
| Himalayan salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Ground flax seeds | 3 cups |
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) to ensure it is ready for the crackers.
- Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set it aside for later.
- In a food processor, add the avocado oil, fresh herbs, celery, apple cider vinegar, and Himalayan salt. Pulse until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly blended.
- Add the ground flax seeds to the mixture and continue to puree until fully incorporated.
- Allow the batter to sit for 2-3 minutes to help the flax seeds absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
- Transfer the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly across the surface. Once spread, use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the mixture into cracker shapes.
- Bake for 60 minutes, then flip the crackers and continue baking for an additional 60 minutes to ensure they are crisp and golden brown.
- Enjoy your homemade crackers! Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool before serving.
