Bell Pepper and Seed Crackers (Grain Free, Paleo, GAPs)

Bell pepper and seed crackers are one of our favorite snacks. Five ingredients and very little hands-on work make them an easy snack to keep on hand.

We prefer to eat them with some good organic butter on top (such as Organic Valley Pastured Butter). They’re also great with a thin slice of cheese!

Serves: Makes 1 large baking sheet of crackers

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sunflower seed kernels (I used soaked and dehydrated seeds , but toasted seeds will also work well)
  • 2 roasted red, orange or yellow bell peppers*
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 1 cup shredded Pecorino Romano cheese (omit for Paleo and dairy free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 170ºF and adjust rack to middle position. Place sunflower seeds in the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely ground. Add bell peppers, Italian seasoning, sea salt and cheese. Process until smooth.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon mixture onto baking sheet and spread using an offset spatula until it’s about 1/8” thick. Dehydrate in the oven overnight (about 7-10 hours depending on how much humidity is in your area) until crisp. Cool to room temperature. Break apart into large crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  3. *To roast the peppers:?Preheat the broiler. Place the whole peppers on a baking sheet and put under the broiler. Cook until the skins are just turning black. Using a pair of tongs, turn the peppers so the black skin is facing down. Repeat until all sides of the pepper are turning black. Place peppers in a deep bowl and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers sit for 10 minutes (the steam will loosen the skins). When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel the skin off and remove the seeds inside the pepper.

    Thanks Carrie - our son went to camp last year with five days worth of food. At the time we weren't sure how to treat him, but the best we found was no sugar, no wheat so this mama bear spent a week planning and preparing many of your recipes for him to take along. I contacted the camp for a meal plan for the week and was appalled at what the kids would be eating. Pasta, pizza, tacos were staples. So were pancakes, french toast, cereal and lots of bread. So, I packed chicken tenders for a few meals (your recipe I substituted almond flour instead of regular), ranch dressing (your recipt, too), yogurt, cheese sticks, and a few gluten free snacks like nuts, etc. Fruit and veggies were provided and they scrambled him eggs in the morning at his request. He did really well. Most of his buddies and even the counselors were jealous, they wanted what he was eating.

    We spent the last 4 years of Boy Scout summer camp doing just what Carrie did. The camp cook sent me the weeks menu and I cooked up replacement meals. It got easier as the years went. Now my Eagle Scout know the drill and is responsible for his meals away from home. Yah, he gets joshed around but after 5 years he takes it like a man. I am glad to know we are not the only ones.

    I sent my daughter to 4H camp. Not one parent in her 4H group did. I told her she had to stay two days and if she was miserable I would come get her. I made sure to send her a postcard EVERY DAY. Do you know at this camp if you get mail you have to do something silly in order to get your mail. Boy my daughter was not too happy with me. But, she stayed and has gone every single year. She has some great friends from around the US. My decision to make her go, against all advise, was the best thing for her. She has memories that you cannot even imagine. She could not wait to go every year. Parents, SEND YOUR KIDS to camp. I love how they let you send food. One of the reasons I sent her may have been selfish but I knew she just had to go. My parents would not let me go to camp. My parents would not let me join the girl scouts. I want to make sure my kids can try everything and then pick and chose what they really like to do. (Yes, my kids chose 4H over girl scouts) Love your blog

    These look great & can't wait to try! I'm just a beginner when it comes to learning how to find/make non-processed, wheat free bread products; (due to eczema). At the same time, I'm also trying to maintain a low sodium diet. My doctor recommends omitting salt on table, in any homemade recipes, and of course, avoid processed foods . So my question is: since there are only five ingredients in this recipe, will it hurt to drop the salt? I don't see a nutritional value displayed for this recipe, so I'm not sure how much sodium there is per serving. I realize "Celtic" sea salt is a trendy, "natural" fad right now, but every cardiologist will tell you- salt is salt & is worse for the body then any fat, sugar, gluten, calorie, etc. out there.
