Spinach Crackers

1 bag of baby spinach (pre-washed)
3/4 cup almond flour
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbs ghee (or butter or oil) you need this much to
make them crispy
1 Tbs water
salt to taste

Pre-heat the oven to 350F
1. In a frying pan melt ghee
2. Add spinach, garlic, water and salt. Cover and
cook till wilted and the water is evaporated
3. Take from the heat and mix in almond flour
4. Spread on a cookie sheet lined with parchment
paper. It should be very thin, about 1/8"
5. Bake for 25 min.
6. Remove from the oven and carefully cut into small
squares without lifting it from the sheet.
7. Lower the oven to 170F and bake (dry) for about
60-80 min.

They are very crispy and hold well together.

Update: Tried this out and it worked out very well, the crackers are crumbly. I also squeezed all the water out of the spinach after i cooked it.

I tried this out with freshly chopped cilantro and grated carrots, but this was a flop - it completely crumbled and I was left with cilantro-carrot flavored almond flour. I don't know where i went wrong, perhaps I needed to cook the cilantro-carrot mixture...
