Low-Carb Almond Flour Crackers
These crispy and savory almond flour crackers are a perfect low-carb snack. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite herbs and spices. Enjoy them on their own or with cheese, dips, or spreads.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Egg White
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Get Started
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Everything Bagel Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the olive oil and egg white to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Roll Out the Dough
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out as thinly as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
Cut into Crackers
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to cut the dough into small squares or desired shapes. You can also use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.
Bake
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the crackers onto the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them, as almond flour can burn quickly.
Cool and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the parchment paper. They will crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, break them apart and serve with your favorite dips, cheeses, or spreads. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
