Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium-size bowl, add the flax meal, sesame seeds, and salt, if using. Mix well.
Stir in the water and mix well.
With clean hands, form the dough into a ball. If the ball sticks to your hands sprinkle extra flax meal to slightly dry the ball and make it easy to roll.
Place the dough ball onto two pieces of parchment paper, and use a rolling pin to roll about 1/16” thick. Make sure the thickness is consistent so they cook evenly.
With a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into squares. Roll any extra along the sides into another dough ball to make more squares.
Leave the crackers on the bottom piece of parchment paper and slide the paper onto a baking sheet. Prick each cracker with a fork once.
Bake for 20 minutes. Check the crackers after the first 15 minutes of baking to prevent over baking since each oven varies. You’ll know they’re ready when the border and center are crispy and golden brown. If they’re still soft in the center, continue to bake in 5-minute increments.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Use cumin, fennel, pumpkin, sunflower, or chia seed in place of sesame seeds.
Use fresh herbs such as chopped rosemary, oregano, or thyme in place of sesame seeds.
If you want even more omega-3’s and happen to have black seeds on hand, they are delicious in place of sesame seeds in the flax crackers, and also a source of plant-based omega-3’s.
How to enjoy the crackers
Add a spread such as the Kale Walnut Basil Pesto or Super Yummy Strawberry Chia Spread.
Enjoy with your favorite plant-based cheese.
Top with hummus and a dollop of kimchi.
Scoop into your favorite dip.
Make a cracker “sandwich” by adding a spread, veggies, and a slice of tempeh bacon.
Use it as a “scooper” for Smashed Avocado Chickpea Salad.
Add more seasoning
*Consider adding ¼ teaspoon of any of the following to the dry mixture, depending on the flavors you prefer: garlic, onion, chili powder, or smoked paprika. If you’re not using any salt, extra flavor through spices is recommended.
