Tortilla Chips


-->
Ingredients



  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp each: cumin, chili powder, cayenne, ground coriander, ground dried orange peel
  • 1 tsp onion powder, garlic powder



Directions



  • Preheat the oven to 325.
  • Mix all the ingredients together to form a firm but supple paste. Roll out the mix between two pieces of parchment as thin as you keep even. THIN. As in really thin. Peel off the top parchment and gently cut.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes. You’re looking for light golden brown, dark means nasty bitter, if some chips color faster than others, use a flexible spatula and take them out.

Beet Hummus



Ingredients:


- 500 grams (1.1 pounds) cooked, peeled, and cooled beets, about 2 medium
- 70 grams (2.5 ounces) tahini (sesame paste), about 3 tablespoons
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin (I grind my own so it's quite vivid in flavor; if yours is pre-ground and/or old, you may want to use more)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt



Directions: 


-Cut the beets into chunks and put them in the bowl of a blender or food processor.

-Add the tahini, garlic, oil, lemon juice, cumin, and salt, and process until completely smooth.

-Add a little more oil as needed to get a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

-Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.

-Serve with crackers, pita triangles, or toasted slices of baguette.
