Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Chop the seeds into smaller bits, then mix them with the psyllium husk, salt and baking powder. 0:26
- Whisk the water and olive oil together, stir into the dry mix and leave for about 30 minutes, until it sets into a firm dough. 1:20
- Heat the oven to 175 °C fan (350 °F). Divide the dough into 4. Roll each piece thinly between two sheets of baking paper, slide it onto a tray and peel off the top sheet. 1:44
- Bake for 30–45 minutes. If still soft after 30 minutes, flip it, peel off the paper and keep baking so the steam escapes. Check from 20 minutes and swap the trays round so the thin edges don't burn. 2:50
- Cool on a rack, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight jar. 3:00
Tip. Makes 4 large sheets; we count 16 serves of about 45 g (our estimate). Great with cheese, smoked fish, avocado or hummus. If the paper sticks, they need longer in the oven.

Omega-3 High174%
2.8 g a serve, mostly from flaxseed (77%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Magnesium High33%
138 mg a serve, mostly from pumpkin seeds (27%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Vitamin E High21%
3.2 mg a serve, mostly from sunflower seeds (68%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Selenium High20%
11 µg a serve, mostly from sunflower seeds (29%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Zinc Source19%
2.1 mg a serve, mostly from sesame seeds (35%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Iron Source17%
3.1 mg a serve, mostly from sesame seeds (44%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Vitamin B6 Source12%
0.2 mg a serve, mostly from sunflower seeds (40%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Folate9%
37 µg a serve, mostly from sunflower seeds (39%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Potassium5%
220 mg a serve, mostly from flaxseed (34%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin K4%
4.3 µg a serve, mostly from mild-flavoured olive oil (80%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Vitamin A0%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from sunflower seeds (55%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%
0.3 mg a serve, mostly from pumpkin seeds (38%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
