Black Sesame Wasabi Cracker

~ raw, vegan, gluten-free ~
Aaaaah wasabi! This isn’t your typical back of throat burn, this heat comes right through the nose!! It has a sharp flavor that’s a bit hotter than the familiar white horseradish.
Wasabi powder provides a nice change of pace from chiles. It provides heat, but has more of an herbal overtone and dissipates more quickly. You can also use it as a substitute for Dijon mustard, or as a flavoring in home-made mustards.
Many of the “wasabi” powder and paste products that are available in supermarkets (and even some restaurants) contain only very little or no real wasabi at all and are made of colored horseradish instead. This is because the cultivation of real wasabi is relatively difficult and expensive.
I hope you enjoy exploring new flavors. Please comment below and let me know if you try them. Many blessings, amie sue
Ingredients:
Yields 26 crackers ( 1 Tbsp cookie scoop)
- 2 cups raw almond flour
- 1/2 cup black sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds
- 2 + Tbsp wasabi powder (you decide how strong you like it)
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp cold-pressed olive oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, ground flax, sesame seeds, wasabi powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water, sesame, and olive oil.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix well until dough forms. I like to use my hands for this part.
- To make individual crackers: use the 1 Tbsp cookie scoop.
- Pack it with the dough and wipe off the excess.
- Drop onto either a teflex sheet or parchment paper.
- Use a glass or container that has a completely flat bottom that is about 4″ in circumference. It helps to dip it in water.
- Press down on the dough ball to flatten it.
- Gently remove from the bottom of the container. (I used a dough scraper).
- Place each cracker on the mesh sheet that comes with the dehydrator.
- Dehydrate at 145 degrees (F) for 1 hour, then reduce to 115 degrees (F) for about 8+ hours or until completely dry.
- Once done and cooled, store in an airtight container.
Culinary Explanations:
- Why do I start the dehydrator at 145 degrees (F)? Click (here) to learn the reason behind this.
- When working with fresh ingredients it is important to taste test as you build a recipe. Learn why (here).
- Don’t own a dehydrator? Learn how to use your oven (here). I do however truly believe that it is a worthwhile investment. Click (here) to learn what I use.

Good morning Jesse, it’s hard to keep up with technology sometimes but it can be a real blessing in making connections. It’s the way of the future. :) We got my grandfather a computer at the age of 80! lol So it’s never to late to learn. Please keep in touch and thank you for stopping by. hugs, amie sue
Hello,
This is a bit out of topic, but I have a question about black sesame seed.
I am trying to use black sesame seeds for my green smoothie. I plan to use a blender to grind them into fine flour form. Can i just grind them without soaking? Or I do need to soak them first before grinding.
Thank you
Hello Dave,
The whole purpose of soaking some nuts and seeds is to reduce the phytic acid which makes it much easier for the body to absorb nutrients. If you soak them and then attempt to grind them, you will just end up with a paste. I would soak them and just add them to the blender. If you have a powerful enough blender, it should blend them down just fine with the other ingredients. Does this help?
Have a glorious weekend, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue,
yes that helps. I’ll try to soak and then add them to the blender first to see if it blends.
Thank you!
You are welcome Dave, keep me posted how it works for you. Blessings and bottoms up! amie sue :)
I made these and they were delicious! Will be adding 3x’s the wasabi next time (today) when I make them. I love me some wasabi! It seemed the kick diminished the more it dehydrated as well, so.. gonna pump it up, if my eyes don’t tear up after a couple its just not enough. Thanks for this fantastic recipe!
Good day Renee,
Thanks for the feedback! Your comment cracked me up, “if my eyes don’t tear up after a couple it’s just not enough” So glad that you are enjoying the recipe! blessings, amie sue
