Crispy seeded crackers

Let me introduce you to these amazingly crispy seeded crackers that are made with seeds, seeds and nothing but nutritious seeds! Yes, you read that right! These crackers contain no oil, no flour and no sugar! Apart from water and a little flavouring in the form of dried herbs these crackers really are all seeds. Read on to discover the secret!

📝 Ingredients

• 1/2 cup / 65 grams shelled sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup / 70 grams dried pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup / 70 grams mixed seeds (linseed / sesame / poppy)
• 1/3 cup / 50 grams chia seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 3/4 cup / 175 ml cold water
• 1/4 cup / 50 grams grated parmesan cheese (optional for topping)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the seeds, salt and seasoning into a small mixing bowl and stir in the water. Give it a really good stir to distribute the chia seeds throughout. Cover and leave for 10 to 15 minutes to soak.
2. 2Preheat the oven to 160°C / 320°F
3. 3Line a baking tray with baking parchment and press the soaked seeds into a thin even layer. Use wet hands to do this because the mixture will be quite sticky. Use a pizza cutter or the back of a knife to score the seeds into squares or rectangles.
4. 4If you are using parmesan cheese, you can sprinkle it on now.
5. 5Bake in a preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the crackers are dried and crispy.
6. 6You may find that the crackers towards the inside are still slightly damp underneath. If this happens, remove the cooked outer crackers and turn the remaining ones face downwards and return to the oven for a further 5 to 10 minutes. Keep your eye on them, they burn easily.
7. 7Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
8. 8Store the crackers in a cool place in an airtight container. They will stay crunchy for more than a week.
