Flaxseed Twisty Sticks

These Flaxseed Twisty Sticks are an easy-to-make, delicious and savory snack – and they are also great served alongside a bowl of soup or a salad!

When my husband Jack decided to make this flaxseed twisty sticks recipe – it was just one of those days at home where he was feeling extra creative in the kitchen and wanted to try making something new!   After two attempts – Jack came up with this recipe we’re sharing with you today.  These are really delicious and Jack and I both found ourselves going back for more just to snack on these crackers!

So in preparation for sharing this recipe today, I started reading up a little on flaxseed – and was fascinated to learn that is sometimes called one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet!

Flaxseed is full of Omega-3 essential fatty acids – the good fats that have been shown to be heart-healthy.  It contains lignans – an antioxidant – more than any other plant foods.  And – flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, an important component in any healthy diet.  With all of these nutrients – flaxseed is gaining a reputation as a food that may reduce risks of certain cancers, as well as cardiovascular disease and lung disease when eaten as part of a healthy diet!

So what better way to get all of those healthy nutrients into your body – than by making our delicious flaxseed twisty sticks?  They only take about ten minutes to prepare – then twenty minutes to bake, and you’ve got yourself a delicious and healthy snack or side dish!  Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flaxseed, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and oregano. In a separate container mix milk and oil. Add the wet to the dry and mix by hand until a dough is formed.
3. Roll out between two sheets of wax paper to 9×18 inches. Cut into 36 pieces by cutting into two 9×9 inch sheets and cutting 18 strips out of each sheet. They should be between 1/16 and 1/8 inch thick.
   
4. Twist each one and place on an ungreased sheet pan(s) and bake 10 minutes. Remove and turn each one over and bake for another ten minutes.
5. Let cool on pans.
6. May be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days (but they are so delicious, they won’t last that long!)
