Ingredients
flax seed meal
1 cup (ground)
parmesan cheese
1/3 cup (grated)
garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (none)
salt
1/2 teaspoon (none)
water
1/2 cup (none)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Gradually add the water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until all the ingredients are well combined and a thick dough forms.
4
Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with a silicone baking mat or greased parchment paper to prevent sticking.
5
Spoon the flaxseed mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
6
To create a uniform thickness of approximately 1/8 inch, place a piece of parchment or wax paper over the mixture and roll it out gently. You can also use a straight edge like a ruler or a rolling pin. Ensure that the edges are not too thin to avoid overcooking.
7
After spreading, carefully remove the parchment paper and use your fingers to tuck the edges inward to create an even thickness.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the center is firm and the edges start to turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
9
Once baked, remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan. This cooling time will enhance their crispiness.
10
Once fully cooled, break the crisps into desired sizes and enjoy as a healthy snack!
