Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour (the base for low-carb crackers)
• 1/4 cup flaxseed meal (for added fiber and healthy fats)
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (adds flavor and a cheesy crunch)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for savory notes)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (for added depth of flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (to enhance all flavors)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (for slight leavening)
• 1 large egg (binds the ingredients together)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for moisture)
• Optional:
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (for a hint of smokiness)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for texture and flavor)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven to 350°F (175°C)

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine Dry Ingredients in a large mixing bowl, (almond flour, flaxseed meal, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder).

Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the egg and olive oil.

Using a fork or your hands, mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if too wet, sprinkle in a bit more almond flour.

Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead gently for about 1 minute until it comes together smoothly.

Divide the dough into two equal portions.

Place one portion of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Try to achieve an even thickness for consistent baking.

Remove the top layer of parchment and use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rolled-out dough into squares or desired shapes. You can also use cookie cutters for fun shapes.

Carefully transfer the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly. You can use a spatula to lift them if needed.

If desired, sprinkle the top of the crackers with sesame seeds, additional salt, or your favorite herbs for extra flavor.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly baked to overdone quickly.

Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain their crispness.

Store the crackers in an airtight container. They can last for up to a week at room temperature or longer if stored in the refrigerator.
