100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

These are SOOO much better than real cheese crackers. I eat tons of them and still lose weight. Try them and you'll be making them to keep on hand every day!

1/2 red bell pepper
1/4 cup water
1 cup cashews, soaked 2 hours
1 TBSP tahini
2 TBSP nutritional yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp onion powder
1 clove garlic (1/2 tsp minced)
2 TBSP lemon juice

optional: diced jalapeno

Blend all in food processor or blender until there are no more chunks. Spread thinly on dehydrator sheets and dehydrate until crispy. Store in ziplock bags in the fridge. Enjoy!

could you use an oven on low heat instead of a dehydrator? if so, how would you do that? what temp?

They sound delicious!

I just pulled them out of the dehydrator. The whole house smells like cheddar cheese. I'm. in. heaven!

yeah, how could we use an oven for this?

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

I've "dehydrated" things in the oven before by spreading it on a cookie sheet, leaving the oven door cracked and setting it to "warm" or as low as possible.

what about the nutritional yeast? Is that different from the yeast I have for baking?

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

yes, nutritional yeast is sold in bulk bins (and sometimes cans) at Health Food stores. It comes in flakes and tastes really cheesy.

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

I started a thread about that. Is it bad for you, as in, can cause yeast problems?

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

I don't think so, but I don't know for sure. I can ask over on the raw food message board. :)

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

That sounds really good. I will have to make some...now when can I get to the store. :think

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

Thanks:yes

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

Once some more snow melts and I feel comfortable driving to the health food store across town to nab some nutritional yeast and tahini, I am soooo going to make these in my new Excaliber!

Re: 100% RAW "Better Than Cheeze-It" cracker recipe
 

I can't do the cashews...or nuts of any kind. What would you substitute ?

and what in the world is tahini ? It sounds exotic..like a cocktail. Is it a drink ? I like drinks.
