Simple, yet delicious, these lightly seasoned grain-free crackers are the perfect accompaniment to virtually any topping or spread you can imagine.
Similar to Danielle’s and Shannon’s delicious cracker recipes, I was inspired to create this simply delightful garden herb version with versatility in mind! So not only is this recipe great with dried or fresh herbs, but it can also be used to create other delicious flavor combos, such as my favorite Rosemary-Raisin Crackers and Multi-Seed Crackers.
Made with wholesome blanched almond flour, these tasty little crackers provide a good dose of protein, fiber and nutrients in every crunch! Now that’s a snack you can celebrate!
Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- 1/2 tsp of your favorite dried herb (or 1 tsp minced fresh herbs, see recipe note for suggestions)
- 1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp filtered water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, dried onion, herbs and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, egg and water until well blended.
- Stir wet ingredients into almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Use your hands to knead the dough into a ball.
- Place the dough ball between two large sheets of parchment paper and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Remove top piece of parchment paper. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim the dough to form an even rectangle shape. Set aside scraps.
- Then, cut dough into 2x2-inch squares. Do not remove cut dough squares. Instead, transfer the entire sheet of parchment with dough onto baking sheet. (For photo of cut dough, click here.)
- Make a small dough ball out of the scraps and re-roll and cut. Place on second baking sheet.
- If you enjoy a salty cracker, be sure to lightly sprinkle crackers with a touch of sea salt before placing into the oven.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until crackers along the outer edge of the baking sheet are lightly golden. Then, turn off oven and open oven door for just a minute to allow majority of heat to escape. Close oven door and allow crackers to sit in hot oven another 2 minutes to finish crisping-up.
- Remove crackers from oven and allow them to cool completely on baking sheet for about 30 minutes. Serve with your favorite healthy dips and toppings, or enjoy these delicious little crackers solo when you feel the urge for a healthy crunchy snack.
- To keep crackers crispy, store in an airtight container in the freezer. You can eat them cold straight from the freezer, or bring to room temp before serving.
Notes
*Use any type of dried herb (or dried herb blend) you desire such as thyme, Herbs de Provence, Italian seasoning mix, rosemary, parsley, etc. If using fresh herbs, you'll want to mince them first and increase the measurement to 1 teaspoon, as noted in the recipe above.
You can also use this versatile recipe to create even more delicious flavor combinations, such as these favorites:
• For simple Table Crackers, omit the minced onion and herb in the recipe above, making sure to just lightly salt the crackers before baking.
