Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 sharp knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Optional
- 1 teaspoon onion powder Optional
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs Such as rosemary or thyme, optional.
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs, if using.
- Pour the water into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the seeds to absorb the water and swell.
- After resting, transfer the seed mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rolling pin, spread the mixture evenly across the baking sheet to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into cracker-sized pieces for easier breaking after baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. Break into pieces along the scored lines.
- Store the seed crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different seeds and flavors, such as adding spices or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
For a spicier kick, add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the mixture.
These crackers are perfect for serving with hummus, guacamole, or your favorite dip. Enjoy!
