Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅛ cup quinoa, cooked (dry weight)
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ⅛ cup chia seeds
- ⅛ cup flaxseed / linseed
- 1-2 teaspoon dried herbs optional
- pinch salt
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
