Ingredients
Cracker Ingredients
- ¾ cup pumpkin seed flour see notes
- ½ cup hemp seeds
- ½ cup sesame seeds black and white
- 1 tsp onion flakes or powder
- 1 tsp garlic granules or powder
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
- ½ tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ⅓ cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320 °F
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water and stir well until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, allowing the ingredients to blend together.
- Place the mixture on baking paper, covering with a second piece, of baking paper. Roll out to approximately ⅒ inch (0.3cm) thick using a rolling pin. Remove the top layer of baking paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until crispy, rotate the baking tray halfway through. All ovens are a bit different, so I recommend to check the crackers for desired crispiness and adjusting cooking time as needed, especially for the first batch.
- Allow the crackers to cool down completely, then break apart with your hands. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin seed crackers as a delicious snack.

Notes
Storage: The crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Seasonings: This recipe is very versatile! Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste.
Pumpkin Seed Flour: To make your own pumpkin flour, add pumpkin seeds to a blender and process until a flour-like consistency. Then, pass through a sieve to remove any leftover coarse bits. This is a lot more budget-friendly and will ensure the flour is fresh, as ground seeds can get rancid quite quickly. The one in the shop is always super green, so I was a bit sad when my homemade version turned out to be a light green ( it also made me wonder if some brands are adding food coloring 👀), and I will confess to adding a few pinches of matcha to give it that bright green color you see on the video. You can't taste it, but I loved the added color when making it! So definitely optional 🙂
