Preheat the oven to 170C / 340F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Add all the seeds to a bowl, along with the herbs, salt and water. Stir well and set aside for 15 minutes until the mixture turns to a gelatinous texture. Add a touch more water if it appears too dry.
Spoon your quinoa into the bowl (try not to include any excess water) and mix well. Spread onto your baking sheet and use a spatula to form an even layer about ½cm thick. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully slice into the cracker size you prefer, then flip each cracker. Bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until they are a very light golden brown and hold together. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Either enjoy as they are or top with cheese, spreads or salad or your choice.
- Try not to include any excess water when spreading the cracker mixture on your baking tray as it will make them overly moist.
- Add any herbs, salt or pepper you like for a variety of flavours!
- Spread the cracker mixture in an even layer on the baking tray, without any gaps. This will help achieve an even bake.
