Five Seed Crackers with Olive and Cilantro Tapenade

Serves: 4 | Time to prepare: 360 minutes

These five seed crackers are as easy as mixing some seeds and nuts in a bowl and letting them sit for awhile, and you end up with a crunchy, gluten-free, vegan cracker that’s healthier than you may wish to admit. Top them off with a simple yet delicious Olive and Cilantro Tapenade and you just might have your new favorite appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flaxseeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup water

Directions

1)Combine water and flaxseeds in a bowl and let sit for three hours.
2)Mix in rest of ingredients and let sit for an additional hour.
3)Spread out mixture onto lined baking sheet (a Silpat works great for this) and bake for 45 minutes at 300F.
4)Reduce heat to 230F and open oven door to let out steam. Bake for another 15-30 minutes and open door again. Check how crispy the crackers are by breaking off a corner. If they still feel soft, bake for an additional 15-30 minutes.
5)Let cool, and then break into pieces. You will find that you will get some small crumbles. Keep those on hand for sprinkling over salad or your morning yogurt.
6)Store in an airtight container.
