Garlic parmesan seed crackers (low FODMAP)

10 Minutes Prep • 50 Minutes Cook • Gluten-free • Vegetarian • Low FODMAP • Serving size 3-4 crackers • I first had a version of these in Africa where they are very creative in coming up with gluten-free menu items. When I returned home I recreated the recipe and this version is a delicious variation on that original creation. These amazing crackers are made entirely of seeds so they pack a protein punch and are so delicious you’ll want to eat them every day.

Ingredients

1 cup sunflower seeds (I like to use roasted and salted)

1 cup pumpkin seeds (I like to use roasted and salted)

3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 cup chia seeds (very important! This is what holds everything together)

1/2 cup flax seeds (whole)

1/2 cup Sesame seeds (white are pretty but black are also fine)

1/4 cup flax seed meal

1 ½ cups water

1-2 tablespoons dried herbs of your choice (I like to use half thyme and half rosemary)

2 tablespoons Smoke N Sanity Garlic Parmesan

OR 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon Gourmend Garlic Scape powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Black pepper and Salt (to taste) – I add about 1 tsp of salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well.

Let sit and stir periodically for about 5-10 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Lay parchment on two rimmed baking sheets. Spread half the mixture on each sheet and smooth out with a rubber spatula as EVENLY and thinly as you can. You want the entire amount to be as close to the same thickness as possible so you don’t overcook/undercook parts of your tray. (Thinner layer makes crispier crackers.)

Bake for 45 – 50 minutes until crispy but not burned. To check, bend the parchment up and see if the cracker cracks. If it bends instead of cracking, then cook a few minutes longer. When cool, break into crackers and store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.

Delicious plain or with nut butter, cheese, melted cheese. Use your imagination!

Eat and enjoy because you can!

Pro Tip: These crackers are so good you’ll want to eat a bunch of them! Be cautious because they are high in fiber so don’t eat too many at once. Start with just a few and then adjust your portion size to your own tolerance.
