Cauliflower Crackers

Cauliflower is really an amazing vegetable. It is always on my weekly shopping list because there are so many ways it can be used: to make sauce, pizza crust, rice substitute, dessert (seriously), or even crackers as will be demonstrated below! For this cracker recipe, you will need to turn that head of cauliflower into rice. If you have never made cauliflower rice, it is pretty easy. Just cut up the cauliflower and place it in your food processor and process until it is the consistency of, well, rice.

You will not need all of the cauliflower rice for this cracker recipe but it can be handy to have around. Cauliflower rice is a great way to bulk up any recipe with "hidden" vegetables. It is very well hidden especially mixed in with actual rice, but it can also be used as a complete substitute for any rice dish. I've even seen it used as a substitute for rice in sushi! 

Cauliflower Cracker Recipe
vegan, plant-based, gluten-free

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups cauliflower rice (about 2/3 of a head of cauliflower)
  • 1/2 cup flour of choice (I used chickpea flour to make them gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp herbs of choice. (I like using garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme and dried sage)
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds or sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix to form a dough.
  3. Transfer to parchment paper and roll to a thin layer with a rolling pin. Make sure the size you roll it out to will fit on a baking sheet.
  4. Keep your hands moist when you are moving the dough around to avoid it sticking too much to you. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, sprinkle with a little flour.
  5. Now transfer the thin layer of dough with the parchment paper to the baking sheet.
  6. At this point I will use a pizza cutter to cut into squares. If you want to separate the squares out now you can, but I wait till about mid-way through baking to separate them out because they are easier to handle then...but hot, so be careful!
  7. Bake for about 15-20 min and then let cool. They will firm up as they cool, and if they are not crispy enough for your tastes, you can put them back in the oven for 5 min intervals.
