Recipe Directions
- 1. Place walnuts in a food processor. Process them until they are in very small uniform pieces (Mindi suggests that they should resemble cous cous.). Transfer the ground walnuts to a bowl.
2. Place chopped zucchini in a food processor. Process the zucchini until it's in very small pieces. Add the processed zucchini into the bowl that already has the walnuts in it.
3. Add ground flax, hemp seeds and salt to the bowl.
- 4. Stir well until fully mixed. Add enough water to make spreadable dough ( 1/2 to 1 cup)
- 5. Spread the batter onto two dehydrator trays.
- 6. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for the first hour, then lower to 105 degrees for the remaining time. Once they start to stay together very nicely (after a couple of hours in the dehydrator), remove them from the dehydrator. Take a knife and "cut" where you want your cracker lines to be. Once they're done (I dehydrate these for approximately 12 hours in total, because I eat them so fast that I like to leave a tiny bit of moisture still in them. You may need to leave them in longer depending on your batter and the moisture in the air), you'll be able to simply snap them along the lines that you made in the dough.
- 7. You'll know that they're done when they look and taste like delicious crackers and snap easily. If they're still kind of wet or doughy, they are not done.
- 8. Serve with thinly sliced tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, etc. They're crackers, so do whatever you like with them! Store them in a tightly sealed container.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian These buttery raw walnut zucchini crackers are to die for. Warning: Once you make these crackers you'll never be able to go back to normal raw crackers. Consider yourself warned.
These crackers have been described as the raw food alternative to the "Ritz Cracker." Well, perhaps they don't taste exactly like raw Ritz Crackers, but they sure are savory, buttery and they melt in your mouth. Pure raw cracker bliss!
Mmm, serve with thinly sliced tomato and/or avocado... TO DIE FOR!
This raw cracker recipe requires a dehydrator.

Do I need to spread the batter on parchment paper then place on the trays? I don't have the liners and though you didn't advise to use liners, I was just curious

Would it be possible to use hemp protein powder instead of seed?

Just want to tell you I love your website! I have recommended it to many people because of the very creative recipes and help you offer! If it is ok I thought I might share a helpful hint myself! For making crackers I purchased some rubber backed Silpat mats. They are great because they dont slide all over the place, which makes the job so much easier. I think, tho im mot sure, they are safe to use because they dehydrator temp is low. Anyway sorry if it has already been mentioned! THANKS AGAIN!

Oh my, can you say addictive! Just made my first batch of these and they are my favorite thing I've dehydrated so far :o) They have that yummy-buttery-saltiness that I sometimes miss about chips & snack food....but these are guilt-free!
(ps, I didn't have hemp so used extra flax and the texture seems fine)

I just saw Sarah's comment on substituting hemp seeds so I will try that.

I can't see the complete list of ingredients because the image of the cut zuchinni covers the list. Can anyone help?

2 1/2 cups of walnuts (soaked for at least two hours then rinsed)
2 1/2 cups of cubed zuccini
1/2 cup ground flax seed (also known as flax seed meal)
1/4 cup hemp seed (also known as hemp hearts)
2 teaspoons of sea salt

I'm trying these (making them) for the first time tonight. I'm so excited. Ritz crackers flow here in the rest of the family (not me) like water. It's crazy. I'm hoping these are delicious enough for the family as an alternative. Yay. OH- do I need to spread the batter on parchment paper then place on the trays? I don't have the liners and though you didn't advise to use liners, I was just curious. THANKS!
