how to make Seed Crackers

Ingredients:

• 80g (1/2 cup) pumpkin seeds
• 80g (1/2 cup) sunflower seeds
• 80g (1/2 cup) sesame seeds
• 50g (1/2 cup) ground flaxseed / linseed
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder (or granules)
• 1.5 tsp onion powder (or granules)
• 1 tsp dried herbs (I used oregano)
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
• 410 ml (1.75 cups) warm water

Directions:

1. Start by adding the sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and ground flaxseed to a medium-sized bowl. Stir well.
2. Next, add the salt, dried herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast to the mixture. Stir again until everything is combined.
3. Pour in the olive oil and warm water. Mix well until fully combined. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the mixture will thicken and gel.
4. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
5. Pour the seed mixture onto the tray. Pat it down with the back of a spoon until it is spread out evenly and thinly without any holes. You can also place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it with a rolling pin, then gently peel it off.
6. Brush the top with a bit of olive oil and then place the tray in the oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to ensure they do not burn!
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!
