A healthy snack, absolutely packed full of flavour and made entirely from plant-based ingredients.

Crackers
 1 cup sunflower kernels
 1/2 cup pepitas
 1/2 cup almond meal
 1/4 cup chia seeds
 1 tsp activated charcoal powder (optional)
 4 tbsp sesame seeds
 1/2 cup water
Dip
 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly roasted or fried

Crackers
1

Preheat oven to 150 Degrees celsius.

2

Place the sunflower kernels and pepitas in a food processor and blitz for 20 seconds.

3

Transfer the sunflower kernels and pepitas into a bowl with the rest of the dry cracker ingredients, then add the water and stir well. Continue to stir occasionally for 20 minutes until the the water has fully absorbed.

4

Line a baking tray and spoon the mixture into the tray pressing firmly down with the back of a spoon. Make sure it is a thin layer - you may need two trays.

5

Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until lightly golden.

6

Remove from the oven and, once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut into squares.

Dip
7

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.

8

Drizzle capsicum and carrot with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake for approximately 25 minutes.

9

Saute onion, garlic and chilli in a fry pan on a medium heat and then reduce the heat to a medium-low and cook for a further 15 minutes.

10

Once the capsicum has been removed from the oven and cooled slightly, peel the skin from each piece.

11

Once all ingredients have cooled, transfer into a food processor or Thermomix and blend. Either add the pine nuts before you process or, if you would prefer a crunchier texture, add them in at the end.

      Hi Helen, we haven’t frozen the dip ourselves, but it might just come out a bit watery.
