🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
- In a large mixing bowl, grate your cheddar cheese. If using a food processor, this step is super quick and easy. If not, grab your favorite cheese grater and get shredding! Aim for about 2 cups of grated cheese.
- Add your almond flour to the bowl with the cheese. Give it a good mix to combine the ingredients. The mixture should feel slightly crumbly.
- Finely chop your olives, about 1/2 cup. Add these to the bowl along with your other herbs like oregano.
- Give everything another mix. Make sure the herbs and olives are evenly distributed throughout the cheese and almond flour mixture.
- Now, for the fun part – shaping your crackers! You can use your hands or a spoon to form small piles of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Make them about 1/4 inch thick – this will ensure they bake through nicely, and are a perfect size for a snack.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers feel firm to the touch. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary; you don't want to burn them!
- Once baked, let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They'll crisp up more as they cool, creating that satisfying crunch.
- Once completely cool, carefully remove the crackers from the baking sheet and store them according to the FAQ section above! Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can experiment with other nut flours, but the texture may vary slightly.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of olives and herbs to your liking!
