Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp blanched almond flour (100g)
- ½ cup raw sunflower seeds (72g)
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, lightly packed
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried rosemary (optional)
- ½ tsp dried thyme (optional)
- ¼ tsp onion powder (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 + ½ Tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare it for baking the crackers.
- Blend Dry Ingredients: Place all the dry ingredients—almond flour, sunflower seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder, and salt—into a food processor. Blend, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Add Water and Form Dough: Pour in the water and continue blending until the mixture begins to clump together, forming a workable dough.
- Roll Out Dough: Remove the dough ball from the food processor and flatten it slightly. Sandwich the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Cut Crackers: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the flattened dough into square shapes to form individual crackers.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Move the parchment paper with cut crackers onto a baking sheet, keeping the crackers spaced evenly.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid over-baking, adjusting time if crackers are thicker or thinner.
- Cool: Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before serving or storing.
- Store: Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain their crispness.
Notes
- Cooking time can vary based on cracker thickness—watch closely to avoid burning.
- Optional herbs and onion powder can be adjusted or omitted based on preference.
- Storage in an airtight container is essential to keep crackers crispy.
