Ingredients
Crackers
- 1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Topping (optional)
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated and well-drained zucchini, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese if using, and all seasonings including garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a rolling pin to press and roll the dough evenly into a thin, flat rectangle approximately ⅛ inch thick for optimal crispiness.
- Score Crackers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into cracker-sized squares. This will make it easier to break into pieces after baking.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly on top of the scored dough if you desire an extra nutty flavor and crunch.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the crackers turn golden and are crisp around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking apart and serving to ensure maximum crispness.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to avoid soggy crackers.
- If you want a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan cheese and consider adding a bit more seasoning to enhance flavor.
- Store baked crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
