Sunflower Parmesan Crackers
1 cup sunflower seeds – shelled
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup water
1. Preheat oven to 325 F or 160 C
2. Put the sunflower seeds and Parmesan in a food processor with the
s blade in place, and process until the sunflower seeds are a fine
meal with almost a flour consistency. Add the water, and pulse the
processor until the dough is well blended, soft and sticky.
3. Cover your cookie sheet with a piece of baking parchment. Turn the
dough out onto the parchment, tear off another sheet of parchment,
and put it on top of the dough.
4. Through the top sheet of parchment, use your hands to press the
dough into as thin and even a sheet as you can get. Take the time to
get the dough quiet thin–the thinner the better, so long as there
are no holes in the dough. Peel off the top layer of parchment, and
use a thin, sharp, straight-bladed knife or a pizza cutter to score
the dough into squares or diamonds.
*I used my rolling pin. I found it did a much better job than my hands*
5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until evenly browned. Peel off the
parchment, break alone the scored lines, and let the crackers cool.
Store them in a container with a tight lid.
YIELD: How many carbs per cracker? It will vary with the size and
thickness of your crackers. I get abut 6 dozen, each with just a
trace of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. But
you can eat the whole batch for just 13 grams of usable carbs.
