Black Pepper Free Seed Power Crackers
These crackers are a crunchy, nutrient-dense snack built entirely from seeds — pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, and chia all come together in one satisfying slab that you score and snap apart after baking. The seasoning leans on turmeric, garlic powder, and smoked paprika for a warm, savory depth that makes each bite genuinely interesting without relying on any pepper at all. That's a bigger deal than it sounds, because so many store-bought crackers and snack mixes sneak black pepper into their spice blends, leaving sensitive eaters with very few options. Here, every ingredient is clearly listed and easy to verify, so you know exactly what you're getting. Egg whites and a little olive oil act as the binder, holding all those seeds together into a thin, crisp sheet that bakes up beautifully golden. The two-stage baking method — score first, then finish in the oven — ensures each cracker is firm all the way through rather than soft in the center. Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and you've got a snack that's as impressive on a cheese board as it is straight off the rack.
