- Bake at 350 Deg F for 22-24 mins until the crackers are crisp when touched. Remove from oven and keep aside.

For the dip:
- Peel and remove the pit of the avocado and add to a mixing bowl. Add the lime juice , sea salt and the olive oil. Use a masher and mash to get a hummus like dip.
- Now decorate each baked cracker by spreading one tsp of the dip and then placing the cilantro leaves and pomegranate arils on top. Finish decorating all the baked crackers this way.
