Cheddar and Almond Flour Crackers with a Zip (Ketogenic and Low Carb Friendly)


Ingredients:

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chilli powder
3 tbsp water

Directions:

Pre-heat the over to 350F. Mix together all ingredients, but the water. Then add the water slowly until you can form a ball of dough. Flatten the dough then roll out the dough with a rolling pin between two sheets of parchment paper on an 8 by 11 in pan. You have the right thickness when you have nearly covered the pan with dough. Use a knife to cut them into triangles so that when the chips are cooked you can separate them with minimal crumbling.

Bake for 15 minutes. Check quickly after 10 to ensure they aren't getting burned (corners shouldn't be too brown).

These are a great cracker substitute! I even eat these with cheese frequently (cheese on cheese, can life get any better?). They are also great with salsa or dips!

The best part is that the recipe yields a fair number of chips (should be good for 3-4 servings) so the net carbs per serving is very low. In the entire batch there are 12 net carbs or 3 net carbs per serving for four servings. And they are VERY filling! I eat a serving of these with cheese for a meal and I am STUFFED.

Enjoy!
