Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent sogginess.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, ground flaxseed, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the flattened dough into cracker-sized rectangles. This will make it easier to break them apart after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, gently break apart the crackers along the scored lines.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
