Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

¾ cup sesame seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
⅓ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup ground flax seeds
¾ teaspoon dried rosemary
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¾ teaspoon sea salt
⅔ cup water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, dried rosemary, olive oil, sea salt, and water.
Rub the rosemary between your fingers before adding it to help release more flavor and create smaller pieces throughout the mixture.
Stir everything together well and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. This allows the chia and flax seeds to absorb the water and bind the mixture.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and press or roll the mixture into a thin, even layer.
Remove the top parchment paper and gently press together any gaps or holes.
Bake for 40–45 minutes until the crackers feel dry, firm, and lightly golden around the edges. Do not flip them during baking.
Turn off the oven and leave the tray inside with the oven door slightly open for 10 minutes to help the crackers crisp up further.
Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking them into rustic pieces by hand.
