Zucchini roll works out to be a light appetizer for you small parties or get togethers. You can prepare it either with or without crackers. This zucchini roll filling is made from wild rice, quinoa, tofu, soy mayonnaise (made at home) with achari flavor. The crackers are made using wheat flour and flax seed which gives a crunchy taste to the rolls. It came out pretty nice and had a flavorful taste.

For Flax seed Crackers
- In mixing bowl, add wheat flour, baking powder, salt and flax seed powder. Mix it well, add a little water and make a semi tight dough. Once done, cover it and keep it aside for 15 min. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Line the rolling board with wax paper.
- Place the dough on it, cover it with another wax paper and roll it thin using a rolling pin. Remove the upper wax paper and cut it in squares. Fork it and sprinkle some sea salt on it. Place the cut crackers on in a baking tray. Preheat the oven at 250 degree F. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake it for 30-35 mins until it gets a slightly golden color. Once it's done, remove it from the oven and let it cool down completely. Once it cools down, keep it in an airtight container. You can make it in advance and use it at the time of serving.
