Mixed Seeds Crackers
• Thin spreading is key for crisp crackers; thicker areas will stay chewy. • Letting the mixture rest allows the seeds to fully bind without flour. • You can customize spices (smoked paprika, cumin, and chili flakes). • Store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 weeks. • Great with hummus, dips, soups, or cheese alternatives. Health Benefits: These crackers are rich in fiber, plant-based omega-3 fats (from flax and chia), and minerals like magnesium and zinc from mixed seeds. This combination supports heart health, digestion, and satiety. Unlike refined crackers, they provide sustained energy and help stabilize blood sugar due to their high fiber and healthy fat content.

01Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, combine all seeds, herbs, spices, and salt. 3. Add water and olive oil if using, and mix well until a thick, gel-like mixture forms. 4. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the chia and flax seeds absorb liquid. 5. Stir again to ensure even hydration and binding. 6. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking tray. 7. Use a spatula to flatten it as thin and even as possible (about 3–4 mm). 8. Optional: Score into cracker shapes for easier breaking after baking. 9. Bake for 25–35 minutes until edges are golden, and the center feels dry. 10. Flip carefully if needed for extra crispness (optional depending on oven). 11. Let cool completely on the tray—it will crisp up further as it cools. 12. Break into pieces and store them in an airtight container.
