Ingredients

Wet #1

  • 1/2 cup cashews soaked 1 hr and rinsed
  • 3.5 oz water
  • 1/4 cup honey runny and clear
  • 1/8 cup sesame oil or nut oil, cold pressed
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet #2

  • 1/4 cup psyllium husk
  • 1 tsp rosemary fresh
  • 1 tsp thyme fresh

Dry

  • 1/3 cup oat flour plus more for rolling
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut flour

Instructions

Wet #1

  • Blend the first set of wet ingredients until smooth.

Wet #2

  • Add the psyllium and blend again until smooth.
  • Add in the fresh herbs and blend for a few seconds to incorporate, so there are still flecks of herb visible.

Dry

  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add the contents of the blender and mix well with your hands until it comes together.
  • Form the mix into a ball and allow to rest 5 minutes to firm up.
  • Roll the dough out between two pieces of nonstick paper, dust the dough with some oat flour if it sticks, to ¼ inch thickness.
  • Line the tart tin with two strips of greaseproof paper.
  • Place the round of dough inside the tin, press down gently and remove the excess around the rim.
  • Place on a mesh dehydrator tray and dry for 6-8 hours at 115 F, release from the tin and remove the paper.
  • Dry further 4-6 hours or until crisp.
