Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Optional: seasonings of choice (e.g., Italian herbs, paprika)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
  5. Step 5: Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and top with another sheet of parchment. Roll the dough out into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Step 6: Remove the top parchment paper and cut the rolled dough into squares or desired shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
  7. Step 7: Transfer the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crispy.
  8. Step 8: Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

  • Add your favorite herbs or spices like rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
  • Make sure to roll the dough thinly for the crispiest crackers.
  • Use a pizza cutter for quick and even shapes.
  • For a cheesier taste, increase the Parmesan slightly or sprinkle extra on top before baking.

Storage

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them crisp longer, place a dry paper towel in the container to absorb moisture. If they soften, re-crisp them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is essential for the keto-friendly, low-carb nature of these crackers. Using other flours like wheat or coconut will change the texture and carb content considerably.

Can I make these crackers dairy-free?

To make them dairy-free, try replacing Parmesan with nutritional yeast or a non-dairy cheese alternative, but note the texture and flavor may differ slightly.
