Recipe Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Sour Cream
• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 tbsp Dried Minced Onion
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Fresh Chives, finely chopped

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan, dried minced onion, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the sour cream and chopped chives, then stir until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Place the dough on a large piece of parchment paper and top with a second sheet. Roll the dough out as thinly and evenly as possible, aiming for about 1/16 to 1/8-inch thickness. Thinner crackers will be crispier.

Step 4

Remove the top parchment and score the dough into small squares or rectangles using a pizza cutter. Prick each piece once or twice with a fork.

Step 5

Slide the parchment onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until the crackers are a light golden color across the surface and the edges are slightly darker.

Step 6

Turn off the oven and leave the crackers inside with the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes. This extra time helps them dry out completely for maximum crunch.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool fully before breaking apart. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips

Roll the Dough as Thin as You Can

The thickness of your dough is the single biggest factor in whether these turn out crispy or chewy. You want to aim for 1/16 inch if possible, which is basically paper thin.

If some areas are thicker than others, those spots will stay soft and bendy while the thin parts get nice and crunchy. Take your time rolling between the two sheets of parchment and check for even thickness by lifting the top sheet halfway through.

If the dough keeps springing back when you roll it, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again. It’ll be much easier to work with.

Don’t Skip the Fork Pricks

Pricking each cracker with a fork isn’t just for looks. Those tiny holes let steam escape while baking, which stops the dough from puffing up into uneven bubbles.

Without the holes, you’ll get crackers that are puffy in some spots and flat in others. The puffy parts stay soft inside instead of getting that crispy snap you want.

Use Room Temperature Sour Cream

If your sour cream is cold straight from the fridge, it won’t blend smoothly into the almond flour mixture. You’ll get clumps and dry patches that make it harder to form a uniform dough.

Pull the sour cream out about 15-20 minutes before you start mixing. It’ll combine much more easily and give you a smooth dough that rolls out evenly without cracking at the edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to leave the crackers in the oven after it’s turned off?

This step is what takes the crackers from slightly soft to perfectly crunchy. Almond flour holds more moisture than regular flour, so that extra 10 minutes in the cooling oven lets the remaining moisture evaporate without burning the edges.

If you skip this step, you’ll likely end up with crackers that feel crispy at first but turn soft and bendy once they cool down. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
