Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cooked white beans
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour gluten-free flour prob ok
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 5 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons tehina/tahini 1-ingredient sesame paste; NOT the dip with other ingredients
  • Around 1 c water

Instructions
 

  • Blend beans with cashews in food processor til VERY smooth.
  • Spread evenly onto parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and dehydrate in oven (about 170 Fahrenheit or warm setting) for 6 hours or until very dry.
  • Blend dried bean-cashew stuff with remaining ingredients (except water) finely in food processor until well combined.
  • Drizzle water one tbsp at a time while pulsing til you get a nice soft dough (around a cup of water).
  • Divide into 4 portions and cut 5 pieces of parchment paper the size of your baking sheet. Place each ball of dough on one piece of parchment paper.
  • Flatten each ball with your hands, cover with your fifth piece of parchment paper to keep dough from sticking to hands/rolling pin, then roll out as thin and even as possible with rolling pin, covering most of the surface of bottom parchment paper.
  • Transfer (with both pieces parchment paper) to baking sheet and score on top of parchment paper with a dull knife to shape crackers. It's ok if the crackers aren't totally separate since you can break them easily from the scoring after baking.
  • Remove top paper and bake at 350 for about 15 min, then check every 5 minutes to remove crackers that are ready and allow underdone crackers to keep baking. Crackers are ready when browned.
  • Allow to cool FULLY before eating or storing. If you find some aren't as crispy as you like, you can pop them back into the oven at any time for 5 min to crisp up.
