Fun Nutritional Fact!
Rosemary contains antioxidant polyphenols that are both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Recent research has focused on the clinical effects of rosemary on mood, learning, memory, pain, anxiety, and sleep. A study in 2017 showed that students who took exams whilst in a room with the scent of rosemary achieved between 5-7% better grades.
INGREDIENTS
- 200g unsalted almonds.
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (mixed with 3 tbsps water and left for 15 minutes).
- 1/2 tsp of sea salt (or @mara_seaweed).
- a few sprigs of rosemary, finely chopped.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oven to 150oC.
- Put the whole almonds in a blender and blend for 4-5 minutes until the almonds are ground to a fine meal.
- Add the chia mixture and about 1/2 a tsp of sea salt or alternative.
- Continue to pulse blend until you have a dough.
- Transfer the dough to some baking parchment. Lay another piece of parchment on top and using a rolling pin, carefully roll the dough out as thinly as you can.
- Remove the top layer of the parchment, sprinkle with the rosemary (and a little extra sea salt if desired) and using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into squares.
- Bake on a tray at 150oC for 25 minutes or until the crackers have dried out and are beginning to turn just golden in colour. It is really important not to let them burn.
- Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking them up.
- Store in an airtight container.
