Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 egg
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
Sesame seeds (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the grated and drained zucchini, almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press or roll it evenly into a thin, flat rectangle about ⅛ inch thick.
Step 4: Score the dough into cracker-sized squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
Step 5: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
Step 6: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp.
Step 7: Allow the crackers to cool completely before breaking them apart and serving.

Tips & Variations

For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy twist.
Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to help the crackers crisp up.
Store baked crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.

Storage

Store the cooled zucchini herb crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To retain crispness, avoid storing in humid environments. If they lose their crunch, reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to crisp them up again.

FAQs

Can I make these crackers gluten-free?

Yes, using almond flour or oat flour ensures these crackers are naturally gluten-free. Just double-check that all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.

How do I prevent the crackers from becoming soggy?

Be sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini before mixing. Also, bake until the crackers are golden and crisp around the edges, and allow them to cool fully before storing.
