Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out
  • 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
  • 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 make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini (make sure to squeeze out excess moisture), 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 dough forms.
  3. Shape Crackers: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press or roll the dough evenly into a thin rectangle, about ⅛ inch thick, ensuring the thickness is consistent for even baking.
  4. Score Crackers: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into cracker-sized squares. This will make it easier to break them apart once baked.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the scored dough if desired, gently pressing them down so they stick during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet to firm up before breaking along the scored lines. Serve as a healthy snack or with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent soggy crackers.
  • If you prefer, use oat flour to make the crackers nut-free.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory depth to the crackers.
  • Adjust herbs and seasoning according to your taste preference.
  • Store baked crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • These crackers can be served with hummus, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
