Making your own crackers is easy to do, especially if you own a dehydrator. If you don't have one you could bake these Savory Squash Crackers at the lowest temperature setting in your oven.
I have never tried it, so I don't know how long they should bake.
If you have perused the aisles of a natural foods store, you may have seen flax crackers. I am guessing they are probably made in small batches because they sell for around $7 for a 4 oz. bag.
Making your own costs a lot less.
They contain fiber, protein, omega-3, and many other vitamins and minerals. If you are allergic to gluten like I am, these Savory Squash Crackers are a great alternative to crackers with gluten. Because they are dehydrated at low temperatures, they retain their nutrients.
These go well with my Quick and Easy Guacamole or my Spicy Black Bean Hummus.
If you are a gardener and need to use up some of that squash that takes over your garden, you could make my Calabacitas recipe or Dehydrator Zucchini Chips with Salt and Vinegar. They're a great way to make the most out of your bounty!
Other yellow squash recipes to try are my Stuffed Summer Squash Boats recipe and my Fried Yellow Squash. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
How To Make This Recipe
Soak chia seeds and flax seeds for at least an hour to get gelatinous. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a food processor.
Mix vegetable nut mixture with soaked seeds. Spread the mixture onto Teflon sheets or parchment and put it on dehydrator tray. Add sliced tomatoes on top.
The photos below show my Spicy Flax Crackers.
Dehydrate for 24-28 hours, or until crispy. Score with a knife so that when they are done dehydrating, you can break them apart easily.
How Long Do These Last?
These raw crackers will last several weeks in an airtight container.

📋 Recipe
Savory Squash Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup flax seeds
- ¼ cup ground chia seeds
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons low sodium gluten free tamari
- 2 yellow squash 1 ½ cups
- ½ cup raw almonds
- ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 2 sheets nori seaweed
- salt and pepper
- plum, cherry or other tomatoes for the top (optional)
Instructions
- Soak flaxseeds and chia seeds in water and tamari. Let soak at least 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Mix squash, almonds, sunflower seeds, crushed garlic, seaweed, salt and pepper in a food processor.
- Mix the squash and nut mix with the flax and chia seeds and spread onto Teflon sheets on top of dehydrator trays.
- Slice the tomatoes and put on top of crackers, pushing them into the mixture (if using).
- Score the mix with a knife making lines in the crackers to make squares.
- Dehydrate in a dehydrator at 105°F for 24 - 28 hours. You could also dehydrate them at a higher temperature, and it wouldn't take as long. I prefer low temperatures so you don't lose the enzymes.
