Ingredients
Scale
Dry 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
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Optional
- Seasonings of choice (e.g., Italian herbs, paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all the seasonings.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until fully combined, creating a smooth liquid mixture.
- Form Dough: Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all the flour is well incorporated.
- Roll Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly into a thin rectangle about 1/8 inch thick for crisp crackers.
- Cut Shape: Remove the top parchment sheet and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the rolled dough into squares or your preferred cracker shapes.
- Bake: Transfer the cut dough shapes onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crackers become crispy.
- Cool: Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely which helps them crisp up further.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or spices like paprika before baking.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to a week.
- Be careful not to overbake to avoid burning; watch for golden edges as the sign of readiness.
- To make the crackers dairy-free, omit Parmesan and consider adding nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
- Rolling the dough uniformly ensures even cooking and consistent cracker thickness.
