Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg

Toppings

  • Sesame seeds (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated and well-drained zucchini, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese if using, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a sticky, cohesive dough forms.
  3. Shape Dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press or roll the dough evenly into a thin, flat rectangle about 1/8 inch thick to ensure crisp baking.
  4. Score Crackers: Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into cracker-sized squares. This will make it easier to break into evenly sized crackers after baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the scored dough, if desired, to add extra flavor and crunch.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Bake until the crackers are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them apart carefully along the scored lines. Serve and enjoy your healthy crunchy snack!

Notes

  • Ensure the zucchini is squeezed dry to avoid soggy crackers.
  • You can substitute almond flour with oat flour for a slightly different texture and flavor.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory flavor and helps with binding.
  • Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or basil for varied flavors.
