Health benefits of Low Carb Chia Seed Crackers

Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. The high fiber content helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports digestive health. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and improve heart health, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including chia seeds in your diet can help provide essential nutrients and support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Chia Seeds, ground
3 oz. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 1/4 cup Ice Water
2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/4 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Oregano
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Grind 1/2 cup Chia Seeds in a spice grinder. You want a meal like texture.
2. Add ground Chia Seeds, 2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder, 1/4 tsp. Xanthan Gum, 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder, 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder, 1/4 tsp. Oregano, 1/4 tsp. Paprika, 1/4 tsp. Salt and 1/4 tsp. Pepper to a bowl. Mix this together well.
3. Add 2 tbsp. Olive Oil to the dry ingredients and mix it together. It should turn into the consistency of wet sand.
4. Add 1 1/4 cup ice cold water to the bowl. Mix it together very well. You may need to spend extra time mixing it together as the chia seeds and psyllium take a little bit of time to absorb the water. Keep mixing until a solid dough is formed.
5. Grate 3 oz. Cheddar Cheese and add it to the bowl.
6. Using your hands, knead the dough together. You want it to be relatively dry and not sticky by the time you finish.
7. Put the dough onto a silpat and let it sit for a few minutes.
8. Spread or roll the dough out thin so that it covers the entire silpat. If you can get it thinner, keep rolling and save the excess for a second cook.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes in the oven until cooked.
10. Taken them out of the oven, and while hot, cut into individual crackers. You can either use the blunt edge of a knife (don’t cut into the silicone), or a large spatula.
11. Put the crackers back into the oven for 5-7 minutes on broil, or until the tops are browned and well crisped. Remove from the oven and set on a rack to cool. As they cool, they get more crisp.
12. Serve up with your favorite sauces. I’m using my Roasted Garlic Chipotle Aioli.
