Directions

Click:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) degrees.
  2. To a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients, and mix until well combined.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. Add another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it flat using a rolling pin or the side of a tall cup. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to tuck in the sides to create a rectangular shape.
  5. Remove the top parchment paper, and bake the flattened sesame mixture in the middle rack of the oven for 18 - 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. When removed from the oven, let it cool completely. It will continue to harden as it cools.
  7. When cooled, slice the sesame slab into 20 bite-sized squares. Enjoy!

Storage

  • The sesame snaps can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

For your recipes, do you use hulled or unhulled sesame seeds?

Hi CJ, that's a great question! It may depend on the recipe but generally you can use either :)

This recipe worked great for me! I only had black sesame seeds on hand, so I substituted those for the white sesame seeds. The snaps came together quickly and turned out crispy & delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!

So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lorena 🤗 Thanks for taking the time to share!

Looks great! Did not have coconut sugar so substituted cane sugar. Was the coconut sugar a vital component? Unfortunately, the mixture did not stick together well.

Hey Mike, apologies this didn't work out for you. Indeed, I think using coconut sugar will yield a different result. Coconut sugar (or at least the one we used) has a very fine consistency, compared to granulated can sugar, which tends to have larger sugar crystals. I think this can affect the way it sticks together. I hope you're able to try again if you acquire some coconut sugar, and that it works out well for you! :)
