Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup ground flax meal (ground flax seeds)
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredient
- 1 ½ cups warm water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground flax meal, psyllium husk powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Add warm water: Pour the 1 ½ cups of warm water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is combined into a uniform mixture. Allow this mixture to rest for 20 minutes so the psyllium husk and flax meal can absorb the liquid and bind the ingredients together.
- Spread the mixture on baking sheets: Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared baking sheets. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press the mixture down into a thin, even layer approximately ⅛ inch thick, covering an area roughly 10×13 inches.
- Bake the crackers: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 60 to 75 minutes. Rotate the pans halfway through baking to ensure even crisping. For uniform crackers, after about 25-30 minutes of baking, score the mixture with a knife or pizza cutter before continuing to bake.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the sheets. After cooling, break them into pieces along the scored lines or into desired sizes. Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Using warm water helps activate the psyllium husk and flax meal for better binding.
- Scoring the dough partway through baking makes it easier to create neat, uniform crackers.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor.
- These crackers are gluten-free, vegan, and make a nutritious snack option.
