Pescatarian Seed Power Crackers
These crackers are a powerhouse snack built entirely from seeds — pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, and chia — bound together with egg whites and olive oil into a thin, golden slab that shatters satisfyingly when you break it apart. The combination of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and turmeric gives every bite a warm, savory depth that makes plain store-bought crackers feel pretty uninspired by comparison. Because the recipe is entirely plant-based aside from the egg whites, it fits naturally into a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds needed. The technique is straightforward: mix, press thin, bake twice, and let them cool completely — that final cooling step is what takes them from good to genuinely crispy. They're sturdy enough to hold up under a smear of cream cheese, a slice of smoked salmon, or a generous scoop of hummus. Make a batch on the weekend and you'll find yourself reaching for them all week long.
