Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Snack
Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the crackers from sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until fully combined.
- Pour the egg and olive oil mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, you can add a tiny bit of water, a teaspoon at a time, until it holds together.
- Once the dough is ready, place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Make sure the dough is evenly rolled to ensure uniform baking.
- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and cut the rolled dough into squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. You can also use a fork to poke holes in each cracker to prevent them from puffing up while baking.
- Transfer the cut dough (still on the parchment paper) to the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them out slightly, as they may expand a little during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as oven times can vary.
- Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your low carb almond flour crackers as a snack on their own, or serve them with your favorite dips or cheese!
Tips
- Consistency is key: Make sure your dough is not too wet or too dry. If it's crumbly, add water sparingly.
- Roll evenly: Use parchment paper and a rolling pin to create a uniform thickness for consistent baking.
- Poke holes: Use a fork to create small holes in the crackers to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
- Watch carefully: Almond flour can burn quickly, so keep an eye on your crackers in the last few minutes of baking.
- Cool completely: Let the crackers cool entirely to achieve maximum crispness.
- Storage hack: Store in an airtight container to maintain their crunch for several days.
- Experiment with seasonings: Try adding different herbs or spices to customize your flavor profile.
