Chia Chip Recipe
1 cup coarsely chopped carrot
1 cup coarsely chopped celery
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt (or sea salt)
1 cup of chia seeds
Combine all ingredients except the chia in Vitamix or food processor. Pour smooth mixture into a bowl and combine with chia seeds. Mix until chia seeds are evenly coated. Spread the mixture, a spoonful at a time, into thin circles on a dehydrator sheet or cookie sheet. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 4 hours or bake in the oven at the lowest temperature possible until crispy.
