Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 cup Tapioca starch
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground turmeric (for color, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Filtered water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and optional ground turmeric. Mix well to combine evenly.
Add the olive oil and filtered water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a tiny bit more water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, until it holds together without crumbling.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Try to keep the thickness even for uniform cooking.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough (still on the parchment paper) onto your baking sheet.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into small 1-inch squares. Optionally, use a skewer or fork to poke a hole in the center of each square to mimic classic cheese crackers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crackers are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, especially towards the end of cooking time.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Once completely cool, transfer the crackers to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
