Serves: 5
Total Calories: 1,145
Yield: 15 to 20 Breadsticks

2 cups raw or untoasted sunflower seeds
1 cup ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup water
4 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons raw or untoasted sesame seeds
DIPPING SAUCE
2 tablespoons Za'atar
1 cup cold pressed extra virgin olive oil

1. Place the sunflower seeds in a food processor and chop until they are a fine powder. Add the flax seed, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1 teaspoon of the sea salt and pulse until the mixture is thoroughly combined.

2. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is cohesive. (You may not need to use all the water.) Leave the dough in the food processor and set aside.

3. On a medium plate, mix the oregano, sesame seeds, and the remaining teaspoon of sea salt.

4.With wet hands, remove the dough from the food processor in golf ball-sized increments. Roll each ball of dough into a breadstick shape, then roll each breadstick through the oregano mixture. Place the breadsticks on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate at 105°F for 12 to 20 hours, or until the desired crunchiness is reached.

5.While the breadsticks are dehydrating, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the za’atar and the olive oil in a medium bowl.

6. Remove the breadsticks from the dehydrator and arrange on a serving platter. Place the bowl with the dipping sauce in the middle. Serve and enjoy.

For a Change . . .
* Coat the breadsticks with 4 tablespoons raw or untoasted caraway seeds or 4 tablespoons cracked black and pink peppercorns in addition to, or instead of, the oregano mixture.
