You have cooked more rice than you needed? Great, turn it into savory crackers!
Try a completely different snacking experience with easy homemade rice crackers. They are completely minimalistic when it comes to ingredients and preparation, but extremely delightful to munch alone or with a glass of wine. Preparing these crackers really means seasoning cooked rice to your taste – any kind you prefer – and baking it in the oven. Yes, they are that easy to make.
I have tried two options with cooked jasmine rice – hot crackers and algae crackers. It was white rice this time, however, it turns out wholegrain acts just the same, making an even healthier option.
If you’re a fan of hot food, apart from chili you can wasabi for an even more spicy taste. I went for another exotic flavor: seaweed. You can use any type you like or have, I used arame algae, which are low in calories and rich in vitamins and minerals.
In other words, homemade rice crackers like these are a real no-guilt pleasure for all snack lovers. Apart from being super simple and quick to make, homemade rice crackers are very versatile, so feel free to experiment with spices and aromas! I know I’ll never buy rice snacks again 🙂
