Black Magic Sesame Crisps | Food Wishes 

This brings me back to my time working in Africa. Little kids lined the roads in small towns holding up bags of sesame crisps for sale. Those were made with wild honey and were fantastic!

I live in East Africa, and sesame seeds (called Sim Sim here) is about 50 cents a pound, so you can bet I will be making big watches of this!

Made these with olive oil and white sesame seeds - turned out great. Got golden brown a little earlier at about 16 min of cooking time.

I think I'll make 2 doughs, one with white and one with black sesame, and try to make some nice patterns on the tray. Awesome video as always!

The "You are the..." joke took me completely by surprise and cracked me. It will be my new favourite! Thank you Chef John!

Metric 2 large egg whites 45g vegetable oil 1/4 tsp fine salt 25g white sugar 1 pinch cayenne pepper 70g AP flour 45g black sesame seeds

The rhymes are always fantastic, but when they are about this fella named John, it's the cherry on top.

Poppy seeds, black and white sesame seeds. 😊 and a few chili flakes 😉

I made these with rice flour for the gluten free folks and they came out perfect! I served it with Thai pumpkin coconut curry soup. I’ve made 3 more batches because I love them.

I made this with white sesame seeds on parchment paper. Turned out great. Very addictive. Next time I might experiment with some different seasonings.

Probably great with hummus!

Wow that’s amazing! I have a jar of those seeds in my cabinet and I had no clue what to do with them, Thank you!

Oh thank you. Going to make and gift to friend who love sesame seeds.

Very nice! I don't think I've ever been this early for a video and wow, is it a good one. I love me some sesame, so I have to make this some time soon.

Yum! Looks amazing!

It looks so good! In China we also have black sesame crisps but it's more like hard candy bar 🍬

"The ollllddddd tapa tapa" tried and true method right there. Thanks Chef!

That looks sooooo yummy!!!

Always enjoy vids chef. Probably make these.

Love this one!

im definitely making these!

I wonder if we could add a little toasted sesame oil to the egg whites along with the neutral flavored oil? Yum.

You remind me of the Chef - What Chef? The Chef with the power!

Good one Chef Jon!

OH WOW! Thank you.

Simply delicious😎

Great recipe! Endless possibilities.

Thisbis a great idea

been waiting for this one!

Can you use parchment paper instead?

Thank you chef!

Bánh đa! This is a very popular snack in Vietnam.

I bet if you took a bench scraper and pressed the edge into the sheet of crisps straight out of the oven you could make nice, clean snapping points if you wanted something regular in shape.

Forks be like hips, they just don't lie 😂

This is a great recipe, also kudos for sharing a "Halloween" recipe that doesn't rely on charcoal for its color!

BTW to clean SILPAT, soak flat in sink in a dissolved dishwasher tab. Also always use printed side up so you know where to scrub.

oh i actually make this for charcuterie board in the past

Ive see these sesame crisps in oriental groceries..candy aisle

top 100th like, first time ever , lol and for this recipe very apropos because I love me a good crisp that coincides with the cool, crisp air of fall and includes a Chef John rhyme,, thanks Chef John, and Michele !

I'm avoiding sugar. Can I just make it using g sesame seeds and egg whites??? Thanks.

Black Magic Cracka

Can we get a video for Tulumba, the Turkish dessert?

What's the texture like before it cools? I was thinking you could use a cookie cutter to make the disks from a big sheet for a slightly neater presentation.

This is the kind of food that will come out of your oven looking like a picture of Jesus or a treasure map to an ancient chest of cursed gold

nice

They’d be lovely with tapenade I bet

Ooh, wasn't expecting that image. Way to make sure we're paying attention.

Chef John, if you use rice flower instead of wheat, and add some soy sauce you would have kaki mochi

I just got the black sesame seeds from a Korean market, just under $13 for a pound and a half. I will try the recipe without the sugar. I'll get back to y'all.

Omit the processed white flower for the almond flower and the HELL with the white sugar, and replace the vegetable oils for light olive oil!

How about baking these on parchment paper instead?

Can we add chia seeds and flaxseed too? This is great 👍

I think u can make that with sourdough starter leftovers.

Can I use parchment paper?

Will it work with allulose instead of sugar?

😅... can we make them without the silpat? Fun video!

I wonder if using toasted sesame oil rather than a neutral oil would work nicely or not?

Oh man that was less asmr and more like industrial music 😂 I’d definitely use that sound as a sample if I had any musical talent lol

Why no go ham on it and use Everything seasoning?

I'll bet you could use a piping bag to make interesting shapes...

Can you use parchment paper

Have you sampled with other types of flour, for example chickpea or spelt or teff?

when daddy gives you three ole tapatappas in under 7 minutes

I think I would toast the sesame seeds first.

PLEASE!!! Can you show how to make pastilla? Every time that you talk about sweet/savory, my mind rushes to thoughts of a chicken pastilla. Chef John, I am *BEGGING* you, please show how to make a pastilla.

I don’t have sesame seeds but I do have nigella or onion seeds. I bet that’ll work!

Can you do this with other flavors? Can you do it without sugar?

Can you use sesame oil instead?

try this with sunflower seeds.

Question? What happens if you mix some rice flour in? More crunch? Or just clumps?

Using aqua faber would make it even vegan. I bet this would work as well 🤔

Chef John, when are you doing that collab with Internet Comment Etiquette?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Tuna recipe???

I bet this would be fire with chia seeds

Can you do it without the sugar?

Those look great! Do you think gluten free flour would work?

Why not use the yolk?

KInda suprised no one here has mentioned similarity to benne wafers

Aggressive Whisking. An appropriate name for a Norwegian death metal band whose entire repertoire is about egg based foods 😂

Can you think of a way to adapt this recipe to using sourdough discard?

The pieces might all be different, by the broken poppadum rule one piece will look like a map of india.

Looks Iike Indian PAPAD 😋

Chef John, I often hear people refer to nigella seeds as "black sesame". Are you using nigella seeds or actual black sesame?

Chef John? Pls pls put a link to those cookie sheets you use; mine always end up warping (and I never pour water on them when they’re hot). Tired of buying crappy ones over n over

I'd really wish you included celsius measurements for things like oven temperature and such. Would save a lot of people from having to whip out a calculator or going to google. Edit: good looking crisps though

AAAGH! Description... blank! 😮😢😢

my man have you seen the price of a tiny bottle of sesame seeds

Can i use chia seeds? Lol

How do you know? I'm in my black sesame mood. Made the NYT black sesame cookies last week. Let me check ingredients list and follow along. Edited to add: once again... Would it kill Allrecipes to add metric measurements! Seriously having to convert everything every single time is annoying. I have all the ingredients but it's 8pm and instead of pulling out my scale I have to open a computer to do maths? Sigh.

I never dont' do the ~oll'~ tappa-tappa with stuff like this. And while there are other cooking authorities that have ingrained this practice into me, I only hear in my brain one particular sound bite when I do it, and it comes from here. Fun faqt: when you tap a tray onto the counter like this, you are very briefly simulating an environment where gravity is 100 times greater than actual gravity, which is why even goopy things settle out so quickly. I have no basis for this, which is what makes it a faqt instead of a fact. But acceleration and gravity are indistinguishable. Einstein said so. The bang is only for a split second, whereas we'd have to wait eons for things to settle on their own. Plus it breaks the adhesion of bubbles to the bottom. If anything, I recon 100 is a conservative figure. But it's still only a faqt, so don't sue me. The Q stands for "Qan this guy back any of this up?" And the answer is a freely-offerred "lol no".

now I know how to pronounce your last name.

Lol, you said this recipe was dead easy!!! How fitting for your “Horrible Hand”

Umami maybe?

Chef please put in proper recipe with grams

Here 'cause of SassE. RIP SassE :(

For Low Carb Friendly, sub fine almond flour for the white, add stevia or monk fruit sweetener or erithritol to sweeten to taste. (Remember erythritol is deadly to pets!)Substitute olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil or bacon grease for truly delicious savory style cracker sheet. Use Sesame seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds or even nuts chopped finely. This way will be lower carb but not strict keto. Enjoy! Thanks to this chef for a DEVINE recipe!❤

I bow to Chef John, BUT.....the sugar in these was not pleasant. It actually toned down the sesame flavor. Just my 2 cents😊

You might as well call them Poopies
