Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowl
- Rolling pin
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheet
- Knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds (white or black)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sesame seeds, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder if using. Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. It should be a little sticky but manageable.
3. Roll Out the Dough
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. The thinner, the crispier your crackers will be.
4. Cut the Crackers
Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares or rectangles. You can make them as small or large as you like.
5. Bake the Crackers
Transfer the parchment with the cut dough onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can brown quickly!
6. Cool and Serve
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, break them apart along the cut lines.
Tips for Perfect Keto Sesame Crackers
- Get Extra Crispiness: Roll the dough thinly and bake just a minute or two longer if you like them extra crispy.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a sprinkle of dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
- Store Properly: Keep in an airtight container for up to a week for maximum crunch.
Storage Instructions
Store these crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they lose crispness, you can re-toast them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes to bring back the crunch.
FAQs
Q: Can I make these without sesame seeds?
Yes! They’ll still be delicious without sesame seeds, though the seeds add a nice nutty flavor and crunch.
Q: Can I freeze these crackers?
Yes, you can freeze them in a sealed container or bag. Just thaw and re-toast in the oven to refresh their texture.
Q: Are there other seed options?
Absolutely. Try chia seeds, flax seeds, or poppy seeds if you like a different crunch and flavor.
