Ingredients
Scale
Beet Mixture
- 1 cup cooked beets, mashed or finely grated
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (or almond flour)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the crackers.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed beets, gluten-free oat flour, ground flaxseed, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Form Dough: Stir the ingredients until a thick, pliable dough forms. Adjust the consistency by adding more flour if the dough is too wet, or a splash of water if it is too dry.
- Roll Dough: Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness for even cracking.
- Cut Crackers: Remove the top parchment sheet and cut the dough into triangles or your desired cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Bake: Transfer the parchment paper with the cut crackers onto the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the crackers are crisp and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Store: Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
