Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 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 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

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to prevent soggy crackers.
  • If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • You can swap almond flour with oat flour, but expect slightly different texture and flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste, adding more herbs or spices if desired.
  • Store baked crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum crispness.
  • For extra crunch, you can bake them a few minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
