Inspired by a weekend trip to the Gourmet Food and Wine Show here in Toronto, I savoured something similar to the above, and thought what a perfect snack they would make for my boys. Something different, healthy and tasty. I've been uninspired with the post-playground food I've been supplying them with of late, and wanted something new for them to munch on.
Once the crisps were made though, I discovered how perfect they would be for adult entertaining as well. With the holiday season fast approaching, these little crackers will make a wonderful addition to your cheese tray, dip platters or just on their own in a basket.
I love foods that work well for both the little and big people of the house, and the ease of this snack is perfectly suited to my simple, time-challenged ways right now. Have a great day, friends!
Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Crisps
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 oz dark chocolate
1 tbsp flax seeds
1 tbsp coarse sugar
1 tbsp coarse sea salt
1 egg
2 tbsp water
6 whole wheat tortilla shells
~ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
~ Place the first four ingredients in a blender or food processor and whiz quickly to lightly chop.
~ Combine the egg white and water to create an egg wash and brush over a tortilla shell. Cover well with the blended ingredients. Sprinkle sea salt and coarse sugar over. Using a pizza cutter, slice into eighths and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. (Only make one tortilla at a time or the egg white will dry and the toppings won't adhere)
~ Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
~ Enjoy!
