Sounds yummy write. I am trying to wean from almonds, though, in protest of the new pasteurization regulation as well as trying to decrease my fat intake. How do you think this would turn out if I used 1/2 cup sunflower seeds instead of almonds, 1/8 cup of sunflower seeds instead of cashews, and 1 3/4 cups of the carrot pulp to make up for the decrease in nuts? Does this recipe make one tray?

Hi Rcb! I think it would taste really similar. The secret is the carrot and tumeric together, the celery seed, and a little heat with the cayenne. As you can see from the pic I shook a little flax over the top and grated carrot that gave the texture on the top and shook a little more sea salt. I served it with the tuno which I made today and it’s basically the same recipe except more veges in the tuno!

what ingredient makes it taste cheezy? I was thinking of trying some crackers with nutritional yeast mixed in for the cheezy taste.

Hi Queenfluff! That’s actually the weird part. I didn’t use any nutritional yeast but that could be used. It could have been the spices or it could have been the almonds were soaked for about three days. They didn’t go bad or anything. Also the cashews and carrots together. If anyone else has the same experience let me know. I took a couple out before they were totally dry and they tasted really cheesey. Not quite as much when they were totally dry but still great.My boyfriend said they were the best crackers I had made yet!
