Ingredients

Method
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Ingredients: Add almond flour, cheese and salt to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and a dough begins to form. If needed, add a small amount of water to help bring the dough together.
Chill the Dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up before using.
Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until it’s about ⅛-inch thick.
Cut the Crackers: Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into small squares or any shape you prefer.
Arrange: Arrange the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times. This will help the crackers bake more evenly and give them that traditional cracker texture and appearance.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Let the crackers cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before enjoying them with your favorite dip or just on their own.
Pro Tips
- Thinness is Key: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier your crackers will be. Aim for an even thickness.
- Check Early: Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking your crackers around 10 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- For maximum Flavor: Use a sharp cheddar cheese.
- Grate Your Cheese: Freshly grated cheese works best for this recipe, as pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that may affect texture.
Variations and Substitutions
- Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Parmesan, Gruyere, or mozzarella.
- Herbs and Spices: Add dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder to give your crackers an extra boost of flavor.
- Flaxseeds or Chia Seeds: Add a tablespoon for a crunchy twist.
- Nut Flours: You can substitute almond flour with other nut flours, like cashew or coconut flour. But you may need to adjust the quantity due to the difference in texture.
Storage
Room Temperature: Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Or, in the refrigerator for up to a week. To enjoy, simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the crackers. Just layer them between parchment paper and store them in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. To enjoy, simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
