Seedy Pickle Juice Cracker Sticks

Crispy, aromatic and delicious gluten free cracker sticks that pair well with dips (I love it with homemade wild garlic pesto), soups or salads. You can also enjoy these healthy snacks by themselves whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. Instead of tossing your pickle juice out, put it to good use in this delicious cracker recipe. It adds a very pleasant briny flavour to the crackers. You can use water instead, but increase the salt to 1 teaspoon.

135 g Sunflower seeds
85 g Pepitas
100 g Chia seeds
30 g Sesame seeds
2 tbsp Dukkah, optional
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast, optional
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1 tbsp Dill
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
200 ml Pickle juice
100 ml Water

before baking	after baking

Measure all dry ingredients and place them together in a mixing bowl. Heat the pickle juice and water in a saucepan until warm. Add to the seeds. Set aside, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
Preheat oven to 140C/285F fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Spoon the mixture onto prepared tray, spreading until 4-5mm-thick. Cut into 1 cm wide x 12cm long sticks with a pizza cutter. Bake for 1 hour or until golden and crisp. Cool completey on tray before separating them into sticks. Store the cracker sticks in a an airtight container for up to a week.

Mae Travels 19/4/21 23:15: It seems miraculous that the cracker dough would stick together without anything but seeds to bind it. Looks delicious, though maybe rather high in calories.
