Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 egg

Seasonings

½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Toppings

Sesame seeds (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated and thoroughly drained zucchini with almond flour, egg, Parmesan cheese if using, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Shape the dough: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, press or roll the mixture evenly into a thin, flat rectangle approximately ⅛ inch thick.
Score the dough: Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into cracker-sized squares to make breaking them apart easier after baking.
Add toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the scored dough if desired for an extra crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp around the edges.
Cool and serve: Allow the baked crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet until crisp, then break apart along the scored lines and serve.

Notes

Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to avoid soggy crackers.
Feel free to substitute almond flour with oat flour for a different texture and flavor.
Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a savory richness; omit for a dairy-free version.
These crackers are best stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Adjust herbs and seasonings to your preference for a personalized flavor profile.
