Red Pepper Chips

6 red peppers, chopped
1 C fresh basil leaves (or I use about 1/4 C dried)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 C golden flax seeds, ground (about 2 C ground)
1 1/2 C water

Place the peppers in your food processor and process until smooth. Add the basil, cayenne, salt, and chili powder and process until smooth. Add the water and ground flax seeds and process again until smooth. If you can, allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes to thicken. Put about 2 1/2 C of the mixture on teflex-lined dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate for about 6 hours at 105 degrees or until you can easily remove the teflex sheet. I like to score them at this point either into squares or triangles. Then flip onto mesh sheets and continue to dry for 6-8 hours or until completely dry.

I always keep these chips on hand. A typical lunch for my son and I is a green smoothie and an avocado that we eat with these chips. They're also great with guacamole and hummus!

And here's a little bonus recipe :) It's not raw but a great alternative to your typical cookie, no added sugar, flour, or dairy! My husband even said they were pretty good! 

Oatmeal Cookie

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 C apple sauce
2 C oats
1/4 C almond milk
1/2 C raisins, optional (I actually used a handful of cacao nibs in mine or you could also use chocolate chips)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

I smashed mine down with a spatula, otherwise they'll just stay in a ball, or however you place them on the cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes
