Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Almond flour | 1.5 cups |
| Celtic salt | 0.5 teaspoon |
| Egg (at room temperature) | 1 |
| Coconut oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Fresh rosemary, chopped | 1 tablespoon |
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an even bake.
- In a medium bowl, add the almond flour and Celtic salt. Stir them together, then set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the coconut oil, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Mix well to blend all the ingredients together.
- Add the almond flour and salt mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients, and mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, even dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin, even layer.
- Once rolled out, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes, such as squares or rectangles.
- Arrange the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that the crackers don’t touch each other.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
