If you’re following a low-carb or keto lifestyle, one of the most common questions we get asked is what you can snack on without blowing your carbs.
These low-carb seeded crackers are one of our go-to answers. They’re crunchy, satisfying, naturally gluten-free, and perfect with a dollop of butter or a wedge of good cheese. They work brilliantly as part of a cheese board, for festive grazing, or as a simple keto snack to keep on hand during the week.
This is a recipe we’ve shared before with our community, and it deserved a proper place here on the blog.
Extra virgin olive oil, to grease
150g mixed seeds
Sunflower
Pumpkin
Poppy
Hemp
Coriander
Sesame
50g milled flaxseed
1 egg white (approx. 30g)
30g parmesan, finely grated
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon chilli powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C / gas mark 6).
Line an upturned baking tray with baking parchment and lightly brush with olive oil.
Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly, gradually adding the cold water until a thick paste forms.
Use a spatula to scrape the mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread it roughly.
Take a second sheet of baking parchment the same size as the tray, brush it with oil, then place it oil-side down on top of the cracker mixture.
Using a rolling pin or an empty wine bottle, roll the mixture until it is around 2mm thick.
Remove the top parchment and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned and brittle.
Once cool enough to handle, break into cracker-sized shards.
If any pieces feel soft underneath, return them to the oven for a couple of minutes until fully crisp.
Once completely dry, these crackers will keep in an airtight container for up to one week.
