These Keto Herb Crackers are crispy, spicy, and full of bold herby flavor. They’re made with almond flour, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and classic pantry herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Perfect for snacking, dipping, or serving on a keto platter. They bake in just 20 minutes and get even crispier once cooled.

Ingredient Notes

Flaxseed Meal

Helps bind the dough and adds fiber.
Swap: ground sunflower seeds.

Herbs

Give strong flavor and aroma.
Swap: parsley, basil, or mixed Italian seasoning.

Egg

Gives structure and keeps crackers firm.
Flax eggs are not recommended because crackers may become dense.

Almond Flour

Low-carb and slightly nutty.
Swap: hazelnut flour or macadamia flour.

Olive Oil

Adds healthy fats and improves crispness.
Swap: avocado oil or melted butter.

Chia Seeds

Adds fiber and texture.
Swap: ground flaxseed (texture becomes softer).

Tips for Best Crackers

  • Roll dough evenly for uniform crispness.
  • Do not overbake or crackers may burn.
  • Crackers get crispier as they cool.
  • Add extra flavor with parmesan, sesame seeds, or chili flakes.
