1 cup flaxseed meal Shop
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp water
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme) Shop

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the flaxseed meal, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs, ensuring they are well distributed.
2 Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a spoon or spatula until a thick, cohesive dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
3 Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to evenly roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. This thinness is crucial for achieving crispy crackers.
4 Remove the top parchment paper and score the dough into desired cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the crackers feel firm to the touch.
5 Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will continue to crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, break them apart along the scored lines and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips & Notes

Let the flax dough rest for 5 minutes before rolling. Flaxseed meal absorbs the water and thickens, so the sheet holds together and rolls out more evenly.
Check the edges at 8 minutes. Flax darkens quickly once it passes golden and turns bitter when scorched, so pull the pan as soon as the edges color.
Choose flaxseed meal and dried herbs labeled gluten-free. Flax and herb blends are often packed in facilities that also handle grains.
