Ingredients
Crackers
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is melted and you can form a dough.
- Add seasoning: Stir in the Italian seasoning (and salt if using) thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the dough.
- Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thickness, to ensure crisp crackers.
- Cut into squares: Remove the top parchment paper and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the rolled dough into small square crackers before baking.
- Bake until crispy: Transfer the parchment with cut dough onto a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack to maximize crispiness. Enjoy as a snack or with your favorite keto-friendly dips.
Notes
- Make sure to roll the dough thin to ensure the crackers become crisp and not chewy.
- Use shredded mozzarella for best melting and texture; fresh mozzarella works less well.
- Store leftover crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to add garlic powder or red pepper flakes for extra flavor variation.
