1 large cup fresh almond pulp 
2 small zucchini (baby marrow) thinly sliced 
1 cup ground flaxseed 
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil 
1 tablespoons mixed herbs 
2 teaspoons crushed garlic 
½ teaspoon salt

Cut the dough into cubes and then move to your dehydrator mesh sheets.

Dehydrate your garlic and herb croutons at 40 degrees celsius for 18 to 24 hours or until dry and crisp. Finally remove and store in airtight container.
