Who doesn’t like pizza? These raw pizza crackers are packed with creamy sour cream, green pesto and Parmesan which is made without cheese but you’d never know it. The light, crispy crust is made from zucchini, onion, peanut, almond, pumpkin, sunflower, flax seeds, olive oil and dried herbs.
If you don’t own a food dehydrator, I highly recommend getting one. A bit of an initial investment will reward you with the ability to create these super healthy raw pizza crackers!
