Sesame Crackers

Posted 2015-02-17 by Annalisa Brown ⇒ follow

Baking crackers isn’t something I thought I would ever do, however my 60 Day Challenge has pushed my imagination and culinary skills to another level while trying to create food from scratch. The husband loves the challenge as he gets to sample a varied palate of healthy goodies that look and taste so decadently naughty.

I don’t often cook with seeds, as I usually just relegate them to the salad bowl. However, the nutritional benefit of seeds is immensurable. These power packed little bundles of protein, fibre, minerals and omega-3 oils was all I needed to create these wonderfully delicious and crispy crackers.

This recipe uses only sesame and sunflower seeds, processed into a flour like texture; with a little water and a pinch of salt added to form a crumbly dough. It’s that simple and that quick.

You can add any combination of herbs and spices to build on the flavour of the crackers; perhaps a little rosemary and salt; or a little garlic; or add a little chilli to really liven things up.

These are moreish crackers but you can rest assured that finally, you can enjoy crackers that are actually good for you.

Serve the with fruit; dips such as Eggplant Puree or Roasted Beetroot ; with cheese such as Labneh or with some Chickpea Pâté or simply eat them on their own.

These will keep for a week if stored in an airtight container (if they last that long).
