Equipment

Food processor
Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Rolling pin
Pizza cutter or sharp knife

Ingredients

1 cup shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas) 128g / 4.5oz
¼ cup ground flaxseed 28g / 1oz
¼ cup almond flour 28g / 1oz
1 tsp garlic powder 3.1g
½ tsp onion powder 1.5g
½ tsp smoked paprika 1g
¼ tsp cayenne pepper 0.5g
½ tsp sea salt 2.5g
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp water 30ml

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the pumpkin seeds until coarsely ground. Do not over-process; you want a mixture that has some texture.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pumpkin seeds, ground flaxseed, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Add the beaten egg and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3mm).
Remove the top sheet of parchment and transfer the bottom sheet with the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, score the dough into cracker-sized pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before breaking them along the scored lines.
Let the crackers cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

These crackers can be customized with different spices according to your taste preferences.

Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water).

Ensure the crackers are completely cool before storing to maintain their crispness.
