Ingredients
Seed Crackers
- ¾ cup sesame seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax seeds
- ¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅔ cup water
Instructions
- Mix and rest: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine all the seeds, ground flax seeds, dried rosemary (rubbing it between your fingers to crush and release flavor), olive oil, sea salt, and water. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia and flax seeds to absorb moisture and bind the mixture.
- Spread thin: Pour the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use your hands or a rolling pin to press and spread the mixture into a thin, even layer covering the entire pan without any large holes. Remove the top parchment and press the seeds together to close any small gaps, ensuring a uniform cracker base.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40 to 45 minutes. The crackers should become dry, firm, and lightly golden but should not be flipped during baking to maintain their shape and texture.
- Cool and break: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar. Allow the tray to sit inside the oven for 10 minutes to cool and dry further. Remove the tray and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break them into pieces by hand and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the cracker layer is thin and even to achieve perfect crispiness throughout.
- You can customize the flavor by adding other herbs or spices such as garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain crispness.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
