Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
To make the Rosemary Almond Crackers, add the almond four, flaxseeds, nutritional yeast, rosemary, and garlic powder to a mixing bowl. Pour in the water and stir until combined using a spatula. Form the dough into a ball using your hands.
Step 3
Place the ball on parchment paper and cover with another sheet of parchment paper, press down to flatten. Roll out the dough to about ⅛-inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Step 4
Remove the top parchment paper layer and score the rolled-out dough with a knife or pizza cutter into your preferred size crackers. Sprinkle with flake salt.
Step 5
Transfer the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid the edges burning. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before breaking up into crackers. Note: The crackers will harden as they cool.
Step 6
To make the Turmeric Tahini Dip, add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, honey, and salt to a bowl.
Step 7
Slowly pour in the water while whisking everything together until fully combined. Transfer to the refrigerator while preparing the rest of the board.
Step 8
To make the Goat Cheese Balls, cut the log into 12 slices and roll each slice into a ball with your hands. Place the pepitas, sumac, and za'atar each in separate bowls. Roll the balls around in the various coatings. Set aside.
Step 9
To set up the board, arrange all of the above components on a cutting board or platter and fill in gaps with your preferred additions―see my serving suggestions in the ingredients list. Serve immediately and enjoy!
