Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar works well)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded cheese, and Italian seasoning until a dough forms.
- Step 2: Roll the dough out thinly between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Step 3: Remove the top parchment sheet and cut the dough into cracker-sized squares or desired shapes.
- Step 4: Bake the crackers on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Step 5: Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before serving to ensure maximum crispiness.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes to the dough.
- Swap Italian seasoning for oregano or basil for a different herb profile.
- Use a blend of cheeses like parmesan and cheddar for a sharper taste.
- If dough is too sticky, chill it for 10-15 minutes before rolling out.
Storage
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them crisp, avoid storing in humid conditions. Reheat briefly in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes if they lose crunch.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use other types of flour instead of almond flour?
Almond flour is key for maintaining the keto-friendly nature and texture of these crackers. Using other flours, like coconut or wheat, will change the taste and carb content significantly.
How thin should I roll the dough?
Roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Too thick, and the crackers won’t crisp well; too thin, and they may burn quickly.

For the Dough
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour

- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
