Homemade Multi-Seed Crackers

(1)

Turn leftover brown rice and quinoa from dinner or meal-prepping into these delicious crispy crackers that are loaded with three good-for-you seeds--and create an everything-bagel flavor, without the bagel. The whole grains that make up this copycat cracker recipe add lots of fiber for a healthy snack that pairs perfectly with hummus or cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice, at room temperature

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, at room temperature

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

  • ¼ cup flaxseeds

  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Place oven racks in upper and lower sections of the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F. Cut 3 pieces of parchment paper the size of a large baking sheet.

  2. Place rice, quinoa, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, tamari, water, salt and pepper in a food processor. Process until finely chopped and coming together in a ball. The dough will be sticky.

  3. Divide the dough in half. Place 1 piece of dough between 2 sheets of the prepared parchment paper. Roll out as thin as possible. Remove the top sheet of parchment and place the dough with parchment on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and prepared parchment.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Switch the position of the baking sheets and continue baking until dark around the edges and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and carefully break into roughly shaped crackers. If some crackers aren't fully crisp, return them to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more.

Tips

To make ahead: Store crackers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
