Quinoa Crackers
Makes approximately: 2 servings
Total time: 60mins
Crackers are an all time favourite pantry staple, versatile and a family favourite. It’s always handy to have some crackers to add toppings for a light snack. These quinoa crackers can be topped with savory or something sweet like a chia seed jam. Add other dried herbs or salt to the recipe for extra flavour if you desire.
Ingredients:
- ⅛ cup quinoa, cooked (dry weight)
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ⅛ cup chia seeds
- ⅛ cup flaxseed / linseed
- 1-2 teaspoon dried herbs optional
- pinch salt
- ½ cup water
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 170C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add all the seeds to a bowl, along with the herbs, salt and water. Stir well and set aside for 15 minutes until the mixture turns to a gelatinous texture. Add a touch more water if it appears too dry.
- Spoon your quinoa into the bowl (try not to include any excess water) and mix well.
- Spread onto your baking sheet and use a spatula to form an even layer about ½cm thick.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully slice into the cracker size you prefer, then flip each cracker.
- Bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until they are a very light golden brown and hold together.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack.
