👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
In a large bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, blanched almond flour, egg, melted butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (and cayenne, if using). Mix well with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a uniform dough forms. It should be pliable and not overly sticky.
-
3
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly to about 1/16 to 1/8-inch thickness. The thinner you roll it, the crispier the crackers will be. If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
-
4
Using a pizza cutter, sharp knife, or small cookie cutters, cut the dough into desired cracker shapes (squares, rectangles, circles).
-
5
Carefully transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each. You may need to bake in batches depending on the size of your baking sheet.
-
6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers feel firm. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
-
7
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up significantly as they cool. Once cooled, break them apart if needed.
-
8
Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
💡 Notes
For an extra cheesy boost, you can sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the crackers before baking. If you prefer a milder flavor, use medium cheddar instead of sharp. Ensure your almond flour is finely ground blanched almond flour, not almond meal, for the best texture.
