Veggie Pulp Crackers

Don’t know what to do with all that veggie juice pulp? Why not make some easy veggie pulp crackers and enjoy them with stone ground nut butter.

Ingredients

• 6 C veggie pulp – I used primarily beet and carrot (can we say yum!)
• 3.5 C ground flax – this is about 2 c whole seed before grinding
• .5 C chia seed (if you are sans chia, replace with whole flax seeds)
• .25 C olive oil
• 3 T lemon juice
• 1-2 T apple cider vinegar
• 2 C of water*** (see note)
• 3 T dried herbs – Have fun!

Instructions

** Water will depend on high dry your pulp is. I used an Omega VRT HD 350 for my juice, so my pulp was super dry! However, a lot of juicers will produce a more wet pulp – in this case, use less water. Or, if your pulp is super dry, use more! You want it to be the consistency of dough – easy to spread, but not too easy!

Depending on the size of your pulp (and/or the efficiency of your juicer) you may want to first processor your pulp in a food processor. Once processed to a fine texture, place in a large bowl. Add to the pulp all remaining ingredients and mix well.

Spread mixture evenly on a silpat baking mat (parchment paper will work as well) – makes about two trays for thick crackers.

Using a pizza cutter, cut desired shapes.

Place in dehydrator for 24 hours at 105. Half-way through, or until dry enough, flip slipat over and peel off. Continue dehydrating until crisp.
