Substitutions and Additions

  • Want to make these crackers dairy-free? You can use nutritional yeast instead of the cheese. 
  • You can also add additional nuts to these crackers, such as sesame seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds.
  • For extra flavor, you can also add black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or even cayenne pepper to your cracker dough. 
  • Swap out the parmesan cheese for cheddar cheese if you want a little different flavor. 

How To Store

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also store them in a storage or Ziploc bags. Howver, I do not recommend that you store them in the fridge because they can become soggy.

Sandra’s Pro Tips

  • When rolling out the dough, you will want to get it thin so that you get crispy crackers. 
  • I’ve found that a pizza cutter is the best tool for cutting the dough. However, a sharp knife would also work. 
  • Because you are putting these low-carb crackers in the oven, make sure that you use parchment paper and not wax paper. Wax paper is not oven-safe. 
  • Allow the crackers to cool completely before you cut them, and this will allow them to crisp up completely.
