How to Make Seeded Crackers with Rosemary

Making these crackers is as easy as Sunday morning. Seriously, grab a few ingredients, and you’re halfway there!

First, let’s get those chia and flax seeds soaking in hot water. This step is super important—it creates a binder that keeps everything together.
Next, mix in the rest of your seeds and seasonings. It’s like a seed party!
After that, all you need to do is spread the mixture in a baking tray, score it (yes, even crackers need lines), and bake.

Easy peasy, right?

Ingredients

⅓ cup chia seeds (60g)
⅓ cup whole flax seeds (60g)
1 cup boiling water (250ml)
½ cup sunflower seeds (60g)
½ cup pumpkin seeds (60g)
4 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sea salt
Black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Mix it up: Add the chia, flax, and boiling water to a large bowl. Give it a good stir and let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken up.
Preheat the oven: Set it to 180C (160C fan) or 350F. Your kitchen is about to smell amazing!
Combine it all: Toss in all the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. It’s a crunchy delight waiting to happen!
Spread it out: Press the mixture into a large, lined baking tray (24×34 cm) and score it into 24 small squares with a knife.
Bake and cool: Pop it in the oven for about 50 minutes. Once done, allow it to cool on a rack until it gets nice and hard. Finally, break it into those squares you scored earlier.

How to Serve Seeded Crackers with Rosemary

Serving these crackers is a snap! You can enjoy them as is or pair them with your favorite dip. Hummus, guacamole, or a zesty cheese spread—the options are endless! You could even use them as a base for mini appetizers like smoked salmon or avocado slices. Impress your guests and feel like a gourmet chef. 😉

How to Store Seeded Crackers with Rosemary

To keep your crackers fresh and crispy, store them in an airtight container. They can hang out comfortably on your kitchen counter for up to two weeks. But let’s be real, they probably won’t last that long because they’re so tasty! Just make sure they’re completely cool before you store them to avoid any unwanted moisture.

Tips to Make Seeded Crackers with Rosemary

Custom toppings: Feel free to add other spices or seeds you have on hand. Garlic powder, nutritional yeast, or even a little cayenne for a kick could work wonders!
Thicker or thinner: If you want your crackers thicker, spread the mixture less evenly. Thinner will make them crispier—you do you!
Break like a boss: Once baked and cooled, break apart the crackers into uneven pieces for that rustic look. Fancy, right?

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding in dried herbs like thyme or oregano instead of rosemary, or even throw in some nuts for an extra crunch. The world is your cracker! 🤩

FAQs

1. Can I use ground flaxseed instead of whole?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that ground flaxseeds might not hold the texture quite as well as whole seeds do, but it’ll still taste great.

2. How do I know when they’re done?
Look for a nice golden-brown color. If they’re still soft in the center, give them a bit more time in the oven. Crispy is key!

3. Can I freeze these crackers?
You sure can! Just store them in a freezer-safe container, and they’ll be good for up to three months. When you want to enjoy them, let them thaw out at room temperature.

Now, go grab those ingredients and start snacking like a pro! Happy baking! 🥳
