While I can't quite call these beauties, "chips" (as they're not totally crunchy), they sure do satisfy a chip craving! The flavor combination on these crisps is very reminiscent of pizza. Who doesn't love pizza and a good chip?!
Dehydrating these crisps allows you to retain more of the original nutritional content. So you get way more bang for your buck then frying in oil like you would a traditional chip!!
I hope you all enjoy these delicious alternatives to a traditional chip!!
This recipe is nutrient dense, gluten free, grain free, nut free, egg free, & primal!
What Makes this High-Vibing Food?
First and foremost, putting your own love, gratitude, time and energy into making foods at home will automatically raise the vibration of the foods/meal. This will also help to balance your sacral and heart chakras. Putting your love into the food you prepare will literally raise the vibrational frequency as love is the highest vibration out there!
You are what you eat and what your food eats. Using organic, GMO free, free/pasture raised, wild caught, minimally processed ingredients lead to an overall higher vibrational frequency. Basically, eating organic provides us extra energy currency!
Contains calcium, a key root chakra nutrient.
Contains red colored foods. Red vibrates at about the same frequency as the root chakra. So, eating red foods helps to maintain the proper root chakra frequency.
This recipe is full of healthy fats and oils, which supports the sacral chakra.
This recipe is higher in carbohydrates, providing the solar plexus chakra with both long-lasting sugar sources (like fiber) and quick acting sugars like glucose.
This recipe is high in fiber, which supports all three of the lower chakras as it aides in the movement and flow of bulk during the digestive processes.
Equipment Needed to Create this Recipe:
dehydrator (optional- you can use oven instead)
sheet pan (if you're using the oven)
mixing bowl
parchment paper (if you're using the oven)
a good knife
measuring cups/spoons
Dehydrated Pizza Crisps
(gluten free & primal)
Prep time: 10-15 minutes Cook time: 12-24 hours Yield: 2
Ingredients:
10 organic Roma tomatoes
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3-4 tbsp. cojita cheese, grated
½ - 1 tbsp. avocado oil
1-2 tsp. garlic granules
Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Pink Himalayan sea salt, to taste
How to Create this Recipe:
Slice the tomatoes into thick rounds.
Place the tomato slices into a big bowl and very gently toss with the avocado oil. Use just enough oil to lightly coat the tomatoes. Depending on how much you like garlic, sprinkle your desired amount onto the tomato slices. I LOVE garlic so I add a very generous amount. Plus, I think it makes for a more flavorful "chip". Sprinkle fresh ground black pepper on and lightly toss the tomatoes.
Lay the tomato slices onto the dehydrator racks so that they're not over lapping (or onto your sheet pan in the same manner). Then, sprinkle each tomato slice with parsley and the grated cojita cheese. Dehydrate at 158 degrees ° F for 12-24 hours, depending on the crunch factor you'd like to achieve. Once you've achieved the right crunch, sprinkle with some pink Himalayan sea salt. Alternatively, you can cook these in the oven at 200 ° F for 5-6 hours, or until the edges begin to curl up and crisp.
Enjoy!!
* NOTES:
The thinner you slice the tomatoes the less they will hold up as a "chip", so I cut these with a serrated knife instead of using a mandolin.
The longer you dehydrate, the crispier they'll be. The chips will shrink significantly.
