How To Make Low Carb Cauliflower Crackers
I must tell you right now that this recipe is not for the faint of heart.
After all, it takes a bit of manipulation to transform a vegetable that is 92 percent water into distinctively delectable crackling morsels that in no way resemble their original constituents.
Don’t let that deter you, if I can do it so can you! A little steaming, a little chopping, a bit of squeezing, mixing and toasting, that doesn’t sound too hard now, does it? It is nothing you can’t handle.
No Microwaving
There is no microwaving in this recipe. I have seen many versions of cauliflower crackers that tell you to microwave the cauliflower. Why?
I wanted to create a healthy nourishing and digestible cracker, therefore no microwaving.

Coconut flour, flax, and chia seeds offer nutrients, flavor, and are the binding force to the mix. Baking alone will not produce the desired crunch.
We must also make sure the crackers are dried to perfection. Allowing them to rest in a warm oven for a while will do just that.

- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Roll out the mixture between 2 sheets of parchment paper, to 1/8 – 1/4inch thick, forming it into a large rectangle.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned, cover with another baking sheet and flip the pan over. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Turn off the oven.

Made these a second time (WITH seseme seeds!) and made sure the water was squeezed out of the cauliflower real good. Turned out great! These are simply my favorite cracker of all time…homemade OR store bought!!
