Keto Rosemary Parmesan Crackers

These Keto Rosemary Parmesan Crackers without nuts make a tasty low-carb snack that goes well with whatever cheese or spread you choose. A low oven temperature and a lengthy baking time are essential for achieving genuinely crispy crackers. Because sunflower seed blossoms contain a significant amount of fat, roasting them for a longer period aids in their appropriate drying and crisping. Making your own Keto Rosemary Parmesan Crackers has several benefits, including the ability to be prepared in advance and their exceptional shelf life. They keep well on the counter for up to a week since they are cooked crisp and hard. They only have 2.9g of net carbs and 8.5g of proteins/serving.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SUNFLOWER SEEDS FLOUR:

• Sunflower seed flour works well as an almond flour alternative in keto recipes and is an excellent nut-free choice for baking. Because of its high protein, fiber, and healthy fat content, it’s a fantastic option for diets that restrict carbohydrates and nuts. Making it at home is simple: use a blender or food processor to grind raw sunflower seeds until they are fine and resemble flour.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• Finely grated Parmesan helps bind the dough and adds a rich, salty taste to the crackers. It’s ideal for a keto dish because it’s low in carbohydrates. Make sure the pre-grated Parmesan you’re using is made entirely of cheese, without any additional flour or fillers. If you want a sharper cheese flavor, you may use Pecorino Romano.

ROSEMARY:

• In addition to the Parmesan, fresh rosemary gives the crackers a rich, earthy taste. It adds to the savory flavor of these crackers and is fragrant. To ensure it mixes properly with the dough, cut it finely. If fresh rosemary isn’t available, you may use dried rosemary instead, but you might want to use a bit less because the flavor will be a little stronger.

GARLIC POWDER:

• The addition of garlic powder adds a subtle garlic taste that goes well with the Parmesan and rosemary. The amount can be changed to taste if you like a stronger garlic flavor. Garlic powder distributes more evenly in the dough and doesn’t contribute extra moisture, although fresh garlic might also be used.

BAKING POWDER:

• The crackers have a lighter, crispier texture and somewhat puff up thanks to the baking powder. Achieving the ideal cracker crunch requires it.

COARSE SALT:

• After the crackers are cooked, you can add coarse sea salt as a garnish for added crunch and taste.

EGGS:

• The egg gives the crackers structure and aids in binding the dough. Using a big egg is crucial for achieving the proper consistency.

MELTED BUTTER:

• The dough gains flavor and richness from the melted butter, which gives the crackers their crunchy texture and delectable buttery flavor. For a dairy-free alternative, you can use coconut oil or ghee if you’d like.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Set the oven temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit…
2. Put the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, rosemary, Parmesan, and sunflower seed flour in a big basin.
3. Mix the butter & eggs till the dough comes together.
4. Spread the dough into a rough rectangle on a large silicone baking surface.
5. Use a big piece of parchment paper to cover.
6. After rolling out as evenly as possible to a thickness of ¼ to 1/8 inch, take off the parchment.
7. With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 2-inch squares. Transfer to the large baking sheet then add a little coarse sea salt.
8. The crackers should be firm to the touch and have golden brown edges after 40 to 45 minutes of baking.
9. Before breaking apart, remove it and allow it to cool fully. As they cool, they will keep getting crispier.
10. About 40 crackers may be made from this recipe this also depends on the thickness of the dough we roll.

TIPS:

• For optimal taste, use fresh rosemary. If using dry rosemary, use a little less so as not to dominate the crackers, since dried rosemary may be more powerful.
• Roll the dough as thin as you can (approximately 1/8-inch thick) to get crispy crackers. This will give the crackers the crisp texture they want and help them bake evenly. You may sandwich the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to keep it from sticking if you have problems rolling it out.
• Put the parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and for cleaning. Additionally, this promotes more equal baking of the crackers.
• Place the crackers on a wire rack to cool fully after baking. As they cool, they will continue to crisp up.
