Calories 140kcal
Ingredients
- 150 grams spinach (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/2 cup flax seed meal (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/4 cup butter (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili peppers (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (fresh or frozen and thawed, 5.3 oz)
Instructions
- Fill a sauce pan with water and bring to a boil over a high heat.
- Once simmering, add the spinach and cook for just about a minute until wilted.
- Transfer the leaves into a bowl with cold water.
- Then, strain and squeeze the water out of the leaves.
- If you're using frozen and thawed spinach, make sure you squeeze any water out.
- Place in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
- When done, set aside.
- Meanwhile, mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, flaxmeal, cumin, chili flakes, salt and Parmesan cheese.
- Add the spinach and softened butter.
- Using your hands, mix until well combined.
- Wrap the dough in a foil and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Then, preheat the oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F.
- Remove the wrapping and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out until the dough is about 1/2 cm / 1/4 inch thin.
- Alternatively, use a nonstick silicon covered roller and a silicon mat like I did in this tortilla recipe.
- I rolled the dough out directly in the baking sheet and that's how I achieved the square shape.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 16 equal pieces.
- Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- They are not as crunchy as regular crackers: if you prefer a crunchier texture, bake for additional 15-20 minutes on 125 °C/ 260 °F.
- Try with salmon paté or guacamole on top.
- Enjoy!
