Raw, Vegan Parmesan Pita Chips

Description

Savory, salty, and crunchy without the guilt of commercial pita or potato chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup walnuts, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup flaxseed meal
  • 1/4 cup “Parmesan” nut cheese (I used Parmela brand) + extra for sprinkling
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp. dried onion flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 clove garlic
  • couple of slices red onion
  • 1/2 cup baby carrots (or chopped carrots)
  • 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. white miso
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, process the walnuts, carrots, garlic, olive oil, white miso, red onion, onion flakes and garlic powder until smooth. Scrape down sides to make sure you don’t have any large chunks.
  2. Put the flaxseed meal, nut cheese, and salt & pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the walnut mixture and the water until it’s well-combined. Line a dehydrator tray with a non-stick sheet and plop the dough into the center, top with another non-stick sheet and slowly roll out the dough. I had to move dough around a bit from one spot to another to fill the whole tray. The dough should be about 1/4-inch thick. Remove the top non-stick sheet, gently score the dough into whatever size and shape strike your fancy and slide the tray with the dough into the dehydrator. Sprinkle the top with nut cheese, if desired.
  3. Start the dehydrator out at 145-degrees F and dry for 30 minutes. Turn it down to 115-degrees F and after a few hours, carefully flip the dough onto a dehydrator screen. Continue to dehydrate for an additional 12-24 hours. Check the consistency of the chips occasionally – you want them to be very crispy.

    Despite not being a fan of mango my vote definitely goes to you as you are, without question, a Talented Vegan Culinary Mastermind. The chips look great, and I love the idea of them having walnuts in them, but I didn’t realise dehydrating took such a long time. Make well ahead of hunger pangs.

      I appreciate the vote, ESPECIALLY since you are not a mango fan! Yes, dehydrating can take a crazy amount of time so planning ahead is key. Of course some things go much faster, but for a very crispy cracker, you gotta put in the long hours.

    Amazing recipe…amazing other recipe (mangoes are $1 each down at our local grocery store at the moment) and amazing vegan challenge…I am off to vote for you right now :). Poor Somer…you have to give your dehydrator back? Get in contact with excalibur and have a chat to them. I am SURE that they will come to the party for a few positive reviews 🙂

        I reckon Somer would be in with a chance for a freebie Annie as she has heaps of loyal dear constant readers (both of us included) and she should pitch for one :). I am going to vote for you every day I loved your recipe the best of all of them. I do follow most of the blogs but actually spent 30 minutes saving recipes and finding new blogs to add to my RSS Feed Reader tally… I am up to 389 now! Cheers! 😉

    This makes me wish I had a food dehydrator more than ever! I love crackers but the healthier ones at the store are so expensive! Plus, these look way better than any I’ve seen at the store!
