Hellooooo everyone. It’s lovely to see you.

I’m getting so excited for the April warmth in Manhattan and the sounds of birdies chirping. Yay.

I’m also excited to share this parsnip flatbread recipe with you because it’s SO amazing and I’m honestly obsessed with making grain-free crackers and flatbreads, which I’m sure you are well aware of already since I’ve posted quite a few, hehe.

Here they are in case you didn’t see them Grain-Free Sweet Potato Flatbread and my Seedy Grain-Free Crackers.

And if you haven’t had a chance to check out my new cookbook, Eating Clean: The 21-Day Plan to Detox, Fight Inflammation and Reset Your Body, you can order it now right HERE and you’ll get 6 Free Exclusive Recipes that are NOT in my cookbook!

This flatbread is naturally very sweet and yummy. I have a feeling you’re going to really love it. It’s delicious when served with dips or eaten alone. You can dip this into my curry lime almond nut cheese recipe or my beautiful butternut squash sauce as well as any of your favorite hummus recipes.

There are no grains in this ‘bread’ so it gets its thickness from ground flaxseeds and fresh parsnips. The taste is something you’ve never even come close to before and you’ll want to munch on these babies as snacks anytime of the day.

They’re perfect for an easy breakfast served with creamy almond butter.

You can munch on them with your lunchtime salad–or use them as the ‘bread’ in place of grain-filled bread and layer on some mashed avocado and veggies for your own open faced sammie!

They’ve become a fun nibble for after dinner for me as well- I like drizzling melted almond butter on top and a pinch of cinnamon. O’ so good. You must try. Like right now!
