Citrus Free Seed and Nut Crackers
These crackers are the kind of snack that disappears fast — deeply savory, satisfyingly crunchy, and packed with texture from five different seeds and nuts in every bite. A single egg and a drizzle of olive oil bind everything together, while turmeric, garlic powder, and smoked paprika give the finished slab a warmth and depth that store-bought crackers rarely deliver. The whole thing gets rolled thin between sheets of parchment, so you end up with a crisp, even cracker that snaps cleanly along the scored lines once it cools. For anyone navigating a citrus-free diet, this recipe is genuinely refreshing because so many packaged crackers and snack foods sneak in citric acid as a preservative or flavoring. Here, every ingredient is straightforward — seeds, nuts, oil, egg, and spices — with nothing hidden in a long ingredient deck to second-guess. That simplicity is part of what makes them so good. They pair beautifully with hummus, soft cheese, or just eaten plain straight off the pan, and they hold their crunch well once fully cooled.
