Raw Food Recipe: Raw Cheez-Its
ingredients
- 1 cup nuts (I used half Brazil Nuts and half Walnuts) ($3.00)
- 1 red bell pepper ($.69)
- 1/2 jalapeno, finely minced ($.10)
- juice of one lemon ($.50)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil ($.10)
- 1 cup water for blending
These are truly, jaw dropping amazing … they are so close to the real thing. Being almost all nuts, they’re not exactly diet food. But, as an occasional treat, they’re perfect.
Blend
all ingredients except jalapeno in blender until pureed and creamy.
Fold in the finely minced jalapeno.
Spread
the cheeze mix thinly on plastic or teflex lined sheets in dehydrator.
When top is dry enough, which takes a few hours, flip and peel from the
sheets. Score into square shapes, if desired (mine turned out a bit
rustic, but that didn’t affect the flavor). Continue to dehydrate for
several hours or overnight, until crisp and break into pieces.
It looks fabulous! I will try this next w.e. for sure!
I can't get over how perfectly crispy and cheese these look! I've definitely struggled to get truly crunchy nut-based crackers before, so I'll have to follow your approach next time.
Making these ASAP! I have all the ingredients! :)))
oh I need to try this! At one point and time I was addicted to cheez its…ick!
This looks divine. Will be making this tomorrow! Inspired.
Made these yesterday! So good! They taste just like the cheesy quackers from one lucky duck!!
These are ridiculously good. I suggest reserving the water to see if you need it.
What is the recommended temp, and total recommended dehydrate time?
