Flax & Pumpkin Turmeric Thins

Crispy, nutritious, savoury flax seeds thins that will make you come back for more!

You will be surprised to see how easy it is to make these delicious Flax & Pumpkin Turmeric thins….

And you can truly create your own flax crackers by adding any seeds, herbs or spices you like.

I have used pumpkin seeds and turmeric here, but you can also use hemp or sesame seeds, cumin, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder… the options are unlimited 🙂

Enjoy them on their own or with your favourite dip, or try them with this Pickled Red Cabbage and Onion Relish for a mouth-watering appetizer. Yum!

What you’ll need….

• 1 cup flax seeds
• 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ¼ tsp chili flakes
• ½ tsp good quality sea salt (optional)
• ½ cup water

How to…

Preheat the oven to 180C, 160 fan, gas mark 4.

Grind the flax and pumpkin seeds and add them to a medium-size bowl with the turmeric, chili and salt, if using. Mix well.

Add the water and mix well.

With clean hands, form a dough and shape it into a ball.

If the dough is too sticky, add some more flax meal.

Place the ball between two pieces of parchment paper and, using a rolling pin, roll it to your desired thickness.

Cut the dough into circles with the help of a glass. Roll any extra into more thins.

Remove the piece of parchment paper on top, and slide the paper with the thins on a baking sheet. Prick each cracker with a fork.

Bake until golden. Baking time depends on the thickness of your thins, the thicker they are, the longer it will take to bake them.

I like my thins quite thin, so they are ready in 7 minutes or so. Check them frequently to prevent burning.
