I love creating different textures and options for my cheese boards. Seed crackers appeal to me because they provide a gluten-free option to my guests.
While you can buy seed crackers they can be expensive but ever so easy to make. They are satisfying on their own or with a dip.
Easy and Delicious Seed Crackers
I used to buy seed crackers or even discs which you could break into pieces for my chees plate. I finally discoverd that you can make your own quick easily.No real skill required and have the bonus of being gluten free and keto friendly.

- Roughly spread the mixtuture on the parchment paper and place another sheet of parchment on top. Flatten with your hands or use a glass as a rolling pin to evenly distribute the seeds to the edges.
- Carefully remove the top sheet which and cut into shapes with a knife or leave whole and break into pieces later.

Notes
This recipe is quite versatile as you can use whatever seeds you have on hand in whatever proportions you wish to equal 1 3/4 to 2 cups of seeds.
I often use flax meal instead of chia seeds which also become glutenous with water, but use 1/4 cup.
