Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax, sesame)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (for cheesy flavor)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the mixed seeds, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything together thoroughly until the seeds are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings, ensuring a fragrant mixture.

Spread the seasoned seed mixture in a single, even layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the seeds down firmly, creating a compact layer that will bake into cohesive crackers. This step is crucial for achieving the desired crispness.
- 3
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-22 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are golden brown and they appear dry and crisp. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes, as seeds can toast quickly and burn.

Once baked to a perfect crispness, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes. As they cool, they will become even more brittle and develop their final satisfying crunch.

Once fully cooled, break the large cracker sheet into individual pieces along any natural lines or score them with a knife if needed. Serve these delicious gluten-free seed crackers immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their crispness.

Tips & Notes
- GF doughs don't develop gluten networks, so they don't need kneading — mix just until combined to avoid a gummy loaf.
- Use a good-quality extra-virgin olive oil here — the flavor comes through in simple recipes.
- Press or mince garlic rather than slicing for a more pungent flavor; slice for a milder taste.
