Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or seasoning of choice)
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder (optional, for light puff)

Instructions

2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, garlic powder, and baking powder if using.
3. Step 3: Add the beaten egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Step 4: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about ⅛ inch thickness or thinner.
5. Step 5: Remove the top parchment paper and cut the dough into 1-inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired, then transfer the dough with the bottom parchment paper onto the baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crackers are crispy.
8. Step 8: Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them apart and storing.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
• Use different seasonings such as smoked paprika or curry powder to customize your crackers.
• Rolling the dough thinner will produce crispier crackers.
• If you prefer puffier crackers, include the baking powder and do not roll the dough too thin.

Storage

Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them crisp, avoid storing in humid environments. If they lose crunch, refresh by baking briefly at 300°F (150°C) for 3–5 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make these crackers vegan?

You can substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg (1 tablespoon ground flax or chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water), but the texture may vary slightly.

Can I use other types of flour instead of almond flour?

Almond flour is key to the low-carb nature and texture of these crackers. Using other flours like coconut flour will require recipe adjustments due to their different absorption and texture.

Dry Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder (or seasoning of choice)
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder (optional, for light puff)

Wet Ingredients

• 1 egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Topping

• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, garlic powder, and baking powder if you choose to use it. This creates a seasoned base for your crackers.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the beaten egg and olive oil to the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness or thinner for crispier crackers.
5. Cut Crackers: Carefully remove the top parchment layer. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1-inch squares to form individual crackers.
6. Season and Bake: Sprinkle the cut dough squares with flaky sea salt if desired. Transfer the entire parchment sheet with crackers onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
7. Cool and Store: Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up fully. Once cooled, break them apart and store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

• If you prefer fluffier crackers, include the baking powder in your dry ingredients.
• Roll the dough thinner for extra crispy crackers.
• Feel free to customize seasonings; try rosemary, paprika, or nutritional yeast for different flavors.
• Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
• Ensure dough is evenly rolled to avoid uneven baking.
