Ingredients
1/2 cup ground almonds – the base for a nutty, nutrient-dense cracker
1 tbsp flax seeds – rich in omega-3s and fiber
1 tbsp chia seeds – for added crunch and nutrients
1 tbsp olive oil – heart-healthy fat for binding and flavor
1 tsp garlic powder – for a savory touch
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped – for aromatic, earthy flavor
1/4 tsp salt – to enhance the overall flavor
Instructions
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a food processor, combine the ground almonds, flax seeds, chia seeds, garlic powder, fresh rosemary, and salt. Pulse until evenly mixed.
Add the Olive Oil:
Drizzle the olive oil into the food processor and pulse again until the mixture comes together to form a crumbly dough.
Roll Out the Dough:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the dough on the parchment paper and cover it with another sheet of parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into an even, thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
Score the Crackers:
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a knife to lightly score the dough into small squares or rectangles, creating cracker-sized pieces.
Bake the Crackers:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the crackers for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on the edges as they may brown faster.
Cool and Break Apart:
Let the crackers cool completely on the tray before breaking them along the scored lines. This ensures they stay crispy.
Pro Tips for Success:
Even thickness: Roll the dough evenly to ensure consistent baking. Thin crackers will be crispier, while thicker ones will be softer.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For extra crunch, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Flavor variations: Add a pinch of smoked paprika, sesame seeds, or nutritional yeast for a fun twist.
These Almond Seed Crackers are perfect for dipping into hummus, guacamole, or enjoying on their own as a healthy, satisfying snack. Simple, wholesome, and packed with flavor!
