FLAXSEED AND CHIA SEED CRISPS
I love to try out new unconventional recipes and adapt them a bit. A few weeks ago the Zeit Magazin had a special edition dedicated to cooking at home featuring the favorite recipes of famous restaurants. One of those was the recipe for fluxes crisps with starch, which I have never seen before!
So I really wanted to try the crisps myself and thought, if it works with flaxseed it must also work with chia seeds! I looked into my fridge for potential dips, except the hummus I always have prepared for my daily consumption (can you eat too much hummus?) found a ripe (rare moment!) avocado and quickly prepared guacamole.
I adapted the original recipe and served the crisps with the dips as an appetizer. I don’t want to spoil you but these quick, gluten-free crisps will definitely be prepared more often in my kitchen! :)
They are also perfect as a snack next to binge-watching your favourite series (let me know which one you love at the moment!!) and I am sure they are also delicious when flavoured with chili or fresh herbs. I will definitely try this next time!
Let me know how you like the crisps if you prepare them ☺️
