Ingredients

 For the crackers  


   1 cup (150g) of linseeds  

   2 tbsps of chia seeds  

   2 tbsps of sunflower seeds  

   3 tbsps of pumpkin seeds  

   2 tbsps of pine nuts  

   1 tsp of sea salt  

   1 tbsp of za’atar (or mixed dried rosemary, thyme and salt)  

   1 tbsp of cayenne (adds a lovely heat, but not for children)  

 



  

 For The Beetroot &amp; Garlic Dip  


   4 medium beetroots  

   5 garlic cloves  

   2 tbsps of olive oil  

   1 tbsp of tahini  

   Juice of one lemon  

   ½ tsp of cumin powder  

   1 tsp of Dijon mustard  

   A splash of apple cider vinegar  

   Salt and pepper  

   2 sprigs of parsley  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Place all the cracker ingredients in a bowl with 250ml water and leave for 15 minutes. The seeds will absorb the water and become jelly-like.



 Step 2 

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Line two baking trays with baking paper and spread the seeds evenly between the trays. Use a spatula and spread as thinly as possible, without any holes forming (if holes form, just patch up with a little of the seed mixture).



 Step 3 

Score them in to squares very lightly on the surface with a sharp knife (this makes breaking them up easier later).



 Step 4 

Bake for 15 minutes, then very carefully flip the whole layer over and bake for a further 10 minutes to ensure it is all really crispy.



 Step 5 

Snap pieces off and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They are crispest on the first day, so pop them back in the oven to regain their crunch.



 Step 6 

For the dip, preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F/Gas mark 3½. Roast the whole beetroots and garlic cloves in the oven drizzled with oil and a splash of water on a tightly foil-covered baking tray for about 45 minutes.



 Step 7 

Check with a fork that they’re soft in the middle.



 Step 8 

Leave to cool and then peel and roughly chop. Add them to the food processor with the remaining ingredients and blitz until smooth and thick.



 Step 9 

Add a couple of sprigs of parsley towards the end and season to taste. Trickle in a little water if the consistency is still too thick, depending on the water content of your beetroots.



 Step 10 

Keeps in jars in the fridge for a week at least.
