Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 1/2 Cups Boiled Chickpeas
2 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
2 tbsp Flax Seeds
2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
3 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Cornstarch
Salt and Pepper to taste

Spices and Flavorings

1 tsp Chilli Flakes
1 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder

Instructions

Blend the chickpeas and seeds: In a blender, combine the boiled chickpeas, sunflower seeds, salt, and water. Blend until you get a smooth paste, ensuring there are no large chunks.
Mix other ingredients: Transfer the chickpea paste to a bowl. Add flax seeds, sesame seeds, chilli flakes, dried fenugreek leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, turmeric powder, roasted cumin powder, cornstarch, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread the mixture: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the chickpea mixture evenly on the tray. Make sure the layer is thin and even like a cracker to achieve a crunchy texture after baking.
Bake the crackers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the crackers are firm and slightly golden on top.
Cool completely: Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely for at least 2–3 hours. This helps them set and become crispier.
Serve and enjoy: Break the cooled sheet into cracker-sized pieces and enjoy as a healthy snack.

Notes

Ensure the cracker layer is spread thin for maximum crispiness.
Cooling completely is crucial for the crackers to set and become crunchy.
You can customize the seasoning to your taste by adjusting the spices.
Store the crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
