Equipment

1 high speed blender
1 large baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

⅔ cup dry red lentils
½ cup mix of seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
¾ cup fresh water plus more for soaking

Instructions

Rinse red lentils under cold water and drain. Place in a bowl or jug, cover with 1 + ½ cups of boiling water, and soak for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the lentils and add them to a blender with baking powder, salt and ¾ cup of fresh water. Blend until smooth.
⅔ cup dry red lentils, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¾ cup fresh water
Stir in the seed mix. Do not blend the seeds - this keeps them crunchy.
½ cup mix of seeds
Pour the batter onto the lined baking sheet and smooth it as thinly and evenly as possible. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, and cut into squares (I cut mine into about 70 pieces).
Return the crackers to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until golden and firm. Let cool slightly, then break apart. Bake a few extra minutes if any pieces need more crisping.

Notes

Make sure lentils are well-drained before blending.
Use your favorite mix of seeds (I used sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and chia seeds).
Spread the batter thin for maximum crunch.
Stir seeds in after blending to preserve their crunch.
Check crackers early; every oven bakes differently.
Let crackers cool fully for the perfect snap.
Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
