1 cup	Pumpkin Seeds, roasted and unsalted
1 cup	Chickpea Flour (Gram Flour)
2 tbsp	Ground Flax
4 tbsp	Olive Oil
4 to 6 tbsp	Warm Water
1-2 tbsp	Any dried herbs or spices you like (Garlic Powder, Rosemary, chili flakes etc.)
1 tsp	Sea Salt

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a food processor, pulse the pumpkin seeds until it resembles a coarse flour.
Add the chickpea flour, baking powder, ground flax, salt, and any herbs or spices you want. Pulse again until well combined.
Add oil and 1 tbsp of water at a time while pulsing, until the mixture forms into a sticky dough. Add more water or flour if needed to reach this consistency.
Pour dough out onto a clean surface lined with parchment and sprinkled with a little extra flour. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll the dough out until it’s about an 1/8th of an inch thick.
If it still feels very soft, pop the tray in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
Cut into cracker shapes. Transfer the shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, making sure they don’t touch.
Bake for about 20 minutes until lightly browned, flipping halfway through allow to cool.
Serve with your favorite hummus, avocado dip or nut butter!
