ROASTED CARROT DIP WITH CRUNCHY SEED AND APPLE CRACKERS

ROASTED CARROT DIP WITH CRUNCHY SEED AND APPLE CRACKERS
This whole dish was a delightfully tasty experiment,
and I have leftovers in the fridge for low carb snacking.
Carrot Dip Ingredients
6 carrots pealed and chopped
1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon of tahini
Mixed spice and other seasoning to taste
Directions
Roast carrots until they are turning slightly golden - blitz in a food processor or blender with a tablespoon of tahini, 1/2 a teaspoon of mixed spice - I also added some herb salt and half a squeeze of lemon - but just taste it and add whatever you like!

Cracker Ingredients
1 cup flax seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
juice of half a lemon
1 green apple - cored and diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Blitz in a food processor or blender, I made my mixture quite smooth - almost a paste, once you have the right consistency (kind of like a dry cake mix) spread it out on grease proof paper and bake in the oven or follow your dehydrator instructions. I used my dehydrator - but they would work perfectly well in an oven, just keep the temp low - like 60 degrees C and keep a very close eye on them - you want crunchy but not burned crackers!
