Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 160ºC (320ºF).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add almond pulp, flour, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, dried herbs, flaxseed, garlic powder and baking powder. Mix well until combined.
Add Liquids: Pour in the olive oil and water. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. You can use your hands for this step if needed.
Roll Dough: Flatten the dough slightly, then place it between two sheets of baking paper. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 0.3cm (1/8 inch) in thickness. Remove the top layer of baking paper.
Cut Crackers: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into small rectangles or squares. You can also use a small round cookie cutter if preferred.
Transfer to Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the cut dough (still on the baking paper) to a large, flat baking tray.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Check at the 30-minute mark and remove any outer crackers that have already turned golden. The crackers in the middle will take a bit longer to brown.
Cool: Remove from the oven and cool on the tray for 3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The crackers will continue to firm up as they cool. Serve alone or with your favorite dip. Enjoy!

Notes

Store: Keep the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but if they soften, you can place them back in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them up.

Freeze: Freezing is not recommended as the crackers can lose their crisp texture.

Thaw: If you do freeze them, allow the crackers to thaw at room temperature before attempting to crisp them up again in the oven.
