These crunchy homemade seed crackers are wholesome, gluten-free, and packed with nutritious seeds. They make the perfect healthy snack, appetizer base, or bread alternative for dips and spreads.

Ingredients

½ cup sesame seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
¼ cup ground flax meal (ground flax seeds)
1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Preheat the oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a half-sheet pan (18×13 inches) with parchment paper.
Mix the seed batter
In a heat-proof mixing bowl, whisk together sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pepitas, flax meal, psyllium husk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Pour in the boiling water and stir until thickened, about 1–2 minutes.
Spread the batter
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, wooden spoon, or your hands, spread it into a thin, even layer covering the pan. Take a few minutes to smooth it out as evenly as possible for consistent baking.
Bake the crackers
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is firm and crisp. The crackers will continue to harden slightly as they cool.
Cool and break apart
Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let cool completely. Once cooled, break into pieces of your preferred size. Store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 weeks.

For extra crunch, flip the sheet of crackers halfway through baking (optional).
