Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbs and Spices (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon rosemary (or other herbs like garlic powder, paprika, cumin)
  • Optional: chili flakes or cayenne pepper for spice

Instructions

  1. Mix the Seeds and Seasoning: Combine the chia seeds, ground flax seeds, sea salt, and your chosen herbs and spices in a large bowl to form the base mixture for your crackers.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour in the water and olive oil, then stir thoroughly until the mixture thickens into a gel-like consistency, ensuring all seeds are well hydrated and the dough is cohesive.
  3. Spread the Dough Thinly: Transfer the seed dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it as thinly and evenly as possible using a spatula or your hands for maximum crispiness.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 45 minutes until golden and firm. Carefully flip the cracker sheet and bake another 10-15 minutes to achieve an even crunch throughout.
  5. Cool and Break: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack to crisp up fully, then break into your preferred sizes for serving and snacking.

Notes

  • Even Spreading: Use a spatula or your hands to ensure the dough layer is uniform for consistent baking.
  • Don’t Skip Cooling: Let crackers cool fully on a wire rack to achieve perfect crunchiness.
  • Storage Matters: Store in an airtight container to keep crackers fresh and crispy for up to a week.
  • Use Ground Flax: Grinding flax seeds fresh helps improve flavor and better binding in the crackers.
  • Try Different Spices: Feel free to experiment with your favorite herb and spice blends to customize flavor.
