Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and flaxseeds with the water. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes gel-like.
To the seed mixture, add sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and ground black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until all the seeds are evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, making it as thin as possible without creating gaps.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the cracker mixture into the desired size and shape for each cracker. This will make it easier to break apart later.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip over each cracker piece.
Return the crackers to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet. Once cooled completely, break them apart along the scored lines.
Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
