Nitrate & Nitrite Free Seed and Nut Crackers
These crackers are the kind of snack that makes you wonder why you ever bought the boxed stuff. A mosaic of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame, flaxseeds, and chopped almonds gets bound together with olive oil and egg, then seasoned with turmeric, garlic powder, and a whisper of smoked paprika for a flavor that's earthy, savory, and just a little smoky. The thin-rolled slab bakes into something genuinely crispy — shatteringly so once it cools on the pan — with golden edges and a nutty depth that store-bought crackers rarely deliver. For anyone avoiding processed meats and packaged snacks that sneak in curing agents or preservatives, this recipe is a clean, whole-ingredient win from start to finish. Every component is exactly what it says it is: seeds, nuts, a handful of spices, and nothing hidden. They're sturdy enough to hold up to hummus, cheese, or a smear of avocado, but honestly good enough to eat plain by the handful. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll be reaching for these all week long.
