Parsnip and Thyme Grain Free Crackers (grain-free & vegan)

March 26, 2016 By Hana 12 Comments

Parsnip and Thyme Grain Free Crackers

Today I’m reposting one of my most favourite recipes on my blog – Parsnip and Thyme Grain Free Crackers. This was my very first post on my blog, I’ve slightly updated the recipe and refreshed the pictures as it’s just such a great recipe that I believe deserves more limelight. Plus it’s always good to have some great crackers around the house. They are made with a blend of sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, flaxseed, grated parsnips and fresh thyme. There’s no fat needed in the recipe, the parsnips bind everything beautifully together and they are everything crackers out to be.

Parsnip and Thyme Grain Free Crackers

They are simple enough to make, you will need food processor or high speed blender to ground the sunflower seeds and hazelnuts. If you’re making fresh flaxseed, blend it separately. Then grate the parsnips and gently mix everything together just until it comes together into a dough. Roll it out between two sheets of baking paper, this part is a little fiddly, so have patience and try to roll it into a rectangle shape. Keep an eye on them while in the oven as they will bake unevenly. Enjoy and eat with anything:)

Author: Hana, Nirvana Cakery, adapted from Hemsley and Hemsley The art of eating well
Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • 80g parsnips, peeled and grated (1/2 cup)
  • 1tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 120g sunflower seeds (1 cup)
  • 60g hazelnuts (1/2 cup)
  • 30g flaxseed (1/4 cup)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)
  2. Peel and grate parsnips, squeeze lemon juice over, add thyme and set aside.
  3. Place the sunflower seeds and hazelnuts into a food processor or high speed blender and process until blended into a fine crumb.
  4. Scrape into a bowl, add the flaxseed and sea salt and whisk until combined.
  5. Add the parsnip mixture and using your hands mix until it just comes together into a dough.
  6. Roll the dough into a rectangle shape between two sheets of baking paper until about 3mm thickness. This part is a bit fiddly, so have patience with it.
  7. Cut the dough into small squares and transfer with the bottom baking paper onto a tray.
  8. Bake for about 12 min.
  9. After 12 min check them, the ones on the edges should be ready by now, so snap them off. If you like you can separate the rest of the crackers at this point to bake more evenly and return them to the oven. Check every couple of minutes, it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes for the rest to be ready.
  10. Once ready leave to cool down.
  11. Store in a fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
  12. Enjoy!

    So excited to find this recipe! I cannot eat grain of any type, nuts or coconut products. I can tolerate seeds. So I will try this right away! I have such a craving for crackers, and almost all recipes contain something I can’t eat. Thank you!

      You’re so welcome Michele! This recipe does actually contain hazelnuts, but you can easily replace them with extra sunflower seeds and flaxseed. They are really filling too! Hope you like them as much as me:)

    I make a similar recipe with beetroots but I don’t cook the crackers, I put them in the dehydrator. I did the same with your recipe but adding more water and a little apple cider vinegar, so I was able to spread the batter onto the teflex (much less work than rolling between papers). I also add grated fresh curcuma as a spice.

    Your blog is beautiful and all recipes are appealing to me!

      Thank you so much Catherine for these lovely words, I’m so happy to have you here! Your version of the crackers sounds perfect. I don’t have dehydrator, but I’m tempted getting one too :)

      Hi Bianca, yes, you can. Use carrots or any other root vegetables that you like, celeriac would be nice too.

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄
