Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10–12 minutes, then flip the slices over. Bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Substitutions and Additions

I love the flavor that the olive oil gives these crackers. However, you can also use avocado oil instead, if that is your preference, as well as spices in this recipe.
Feel free to get creative with the herbs and spices you use in this recipe. Some popular options include rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, or even a sprinkle of chili flakes for some heat.
For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated parmesan on top of the crackers before baking them.

How To Store

These crackers are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they become soft, you can crisp them up by placing them in the oven for a few minutes.

How many calories are in a baguette?

Why did my crackers turn out too soft?
