Raw Vegan Cheese Sticks

We made the recipe for cheese sticks from Rawvolution by Matt Amsden, page 73. The recipe was good but we improved it for our taste buds. We didn't like the marinara sauce recipe, so used another marinara sauce.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sunflower seeds, split (we used crispie - soaked, rinses and dehydrated)
1/4 lemon juice
1/4 cup coconut aminos
2 cloves garlic
1 TBS nutritional yeast
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Directions:
Sunflower coating
Grind 1 cup of sunflower seeds in a coffee grind to a powder. Add the 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Mix.

Cheese
Place remaining ingredients in a high speed blender and blend. Roll a heaping tablespoon in the palm of one's hand and then roll in the sunflower coating.
Place on a dehydrator sheet. Dry at 105 to desired crispiness. 6-20 hours.
