Ingredients

  • 1 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flax seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
  3. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the seed mixture. Mix well to combine.
  4. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until a thick dough-like consistency is formed.
  5. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the seeds to absorb the water.
  6. Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula or rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  7. Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into desired cracker shapes and sizes.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crackers become golden and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely before breaking them apart along the scored lines.
  10. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
