Ingredients

• 1 large (about 300g) zucchini
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup (grated, optional for extra flavor) parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

Squeeze the zucchini tightly in the kitchen towel over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the crackers are crispy.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, almond flour, parmesan cheese (if using), egg, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch thick). Remove the top sheet of parchment paper.

Step 6

Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into cracker-sized squares. This will make it easier to break them apart after baking.

Step 7

Transfer the dough, along with the bottom sheet of parchment paper, onto the lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to avoid burning.

Step 9

Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break them apart along the scored lines.

Step 10

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
