Kale-Onion Dehydrator Crackers

So, after years of debating whether or not it was worth the investment, I finally bought a dehydrator!    I really lucked out, because the first cracker recipe I tried was glorious!   

Also, for those of you contemplating the purchase, I was brave and didn't buy an Excalibur, despite its reputation as being the best on the market.  Instead, I bought a Cosori.   I had expected to let it rattle along in the basement; but I discovered it looks great on the kitchen counter, is relatively quiet, and it warms up the kitchen in the winter!    It was also MUCH cheaper.

Here is the recipe for these amazing crackers.  The only way I deviated from the recipe (because, of course, I wanted to make it easier) was to score the crackers at the start of dehydrating, so that I could just set it and not think about them anymore.  They turned out amazing!  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds soaked overnight in water with a ½ Tb of salt, then drained
  • 2 cups kale
  • 1.5 onions
  • ½ cup chia seeds soaked in cup water minimum 30 minutes, up to overnight
  • 2 Tb extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ Tb thyme
  • ½ Tb rosemary
Instructions
  • In a food processor, pulse together pumpkin seeds, onions, kale, salt and herbs.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil while running once you have a chunky paste.
  • Stir in the gelled chia seeds to combine well.
  • Spread onto squares of parchment paper about 0.5cm thick. (You’ll need about 3 sheets.)   Score them into the size of crackers you'd like, I used the edge of a spatula.  
  • Dehydrate @ 140ºF for approx. 12 hours

* I did THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE when I was making this recipe.  I was using my mother's food processor, and I got impatient and tried shoving the kale through the feed tube with a butter knife.  Of course,  it slipped from my fingers and fell into the running processor, which immediately seized and irreparably died.   So, that was sad, BUT, it meant I had to buy a new food processor, which I'm actually pretty excited about!   Stay tuned, I'll probably want to show it off!

    What I Eat

    I want to give you an idea of how to eat healthfully on a restricted diet, without a lot of work, by showing you how I eat!  I eat strictly gluten-free.  You'll find A LOT of veggies in this blog!  I eat both fish and meat a few times a week (local and/or humane, whenever possible), and dairy when I'm visiting family and friends, or eating out.   I hope you find this blog inspiring and interesting!
