Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 325ºF / 160ºC. Mist or brush baking sheet with ½ teaspoon / 2½ ml olive oil.
   2. In a food processor or high-speed chopper, grind the flaxseeds to a fine powder. Combine with warm water in a small bowl, and set aside for 15 minutes.
   3. Place almonds and rosemary in the processor or chopper, and grind to a fine meal. Be careful to stop before it becomes too buttery.
   4. Place all ingredients including remaining olive oil in a medium-size bowl and combine well.
   5. Shape into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Roll out with a rolling pin over the top sheet to flatten to a thickness of approximately 2 mm.
   6. Slice into rectangles of approximately 4×2 inches / 10×5 cm. Top with salt substitute, if desired.
   7. Bake at the above temperature for 20 minutes, or for “raw” crackers, at 115ºF / 45ºC for 1-2 hours (with the oven door slightly ajar) until golden.

Grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese may be added (½ oz / 15 g = 1 protein exchange). Cool before storing, and refrigerate to store. Serving size: 2 crackers Exchanges per Serving: ½ Carb, 1 Protein, 1 Fat
