If you enjoy eating sunflower seeds as a nutritious and low carb snack, then you'll LOVE these crackers!
They're made from just two ingredients: raw sunflower seed kernels and grated Parmesan. Oh – and a bit of water!
Shelled sunflower seeds contain about 5g net carbs for a whole cup, and are a good source of B complex vitamins, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, protein and vitamin E.
These crackers are a little on the rustic side but as long as you have a food processor they're actually pretty easy to make!
How to Make Low Carb Sunflower Seed Crackers
Add some sunflower seed kernels and grated Parmesan to a food processor. Process until they are super fine.
Add a little water, and pulse a few times until a dough has formed.
Spread the dough out onto a silicone mat, and cover with a second silicone mat. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it almost fills the mat.
Score the dough into squares or rectangles. This recipe makes about 32 crackers, although that does depend on size!
Bake the crackers in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until they have hardened.
Leave to cool fully, then carefully break them apart. Store in an airtight container.
These crackers are perfect for dipping and aren't crumbly at all once baked. Check out all my low carb dips!

These are simple & delicious! They fast became a pantry staple. I usually switch Parmesan with mozzarella, or 50/50 the cheeses as I prefer a less strong cheese flavour when I’m using them on a cheeseboard to accompany speciality cheeses. I ran out of sunflowers one time & topped up with 1/4c pumpkin seed instead - turned out just as well! Occasionally I’ll add bit of cumin or caraway seed if I want a mildly flavoured cracker. They really are so easy & versatile. Love them!

These are so delicious! I'm really impressed. I love how simple the recipe is, and they have a nice strong cheese flavour. I have been looking for good gluten free snacks for a celiac relative and these are perfect. Thank you!
I also only had roasted sunflower seeds on hand and they still worked really well!
