Doing the low carb diet sometimes sucks!
Honestly, there really are so many wonderful benefits to doing a low carb diet, but the cravings that can pop up are enough to pull the rug out from under your feet.
How do I know this?
Because I am currently doing the low carb diet and the other night I almost turned into a walking garbage disposal because I was dying for a chip or mac and cheese or mashed freaking potatoes…
There is a time and place for those ooey gooey carb loaded feasts but for the here and now I needed a support to help get me through this carb craving bump in the road.
That is where this Rosemary Parmesan Low Carb Crackers recipe helped me not loose my mind.
Not only is this low carb snack super easy to make, but it also has an incredible taste and texture that mimics the sensation of eating regular crackers.
It literally kept me on track for my goal.
Plus, my husband was very happy I didn’t go bananas.
How To Make Low Carb Crackers
This snack is very easy to make and it tastes amazing, especially if you love both rosemary and parmesan. Follow these simple steps for this yummy low carb snack.
- Add all ingredients, minus the egg, to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk egg in a separate smaller bowl and add to larger bowl.
- Stir with a spoon until large crumbles form. (It will look like you need more moisture, but don’t worry, it will be enough.)
- Continue mixing with a clean hand.
- Mix until a large ball is formed, about 1-2 minutes.
- Place ball onto parchment paper and begin to flatten with hands.
- Place another layer of parchment over the top of dough and roll with a rolling pin to desired thickness (about 1/8- 1/4 inch).
- Cut into desired shapes.
- Poke holes with end of a chop sticks (this step is optional).
- Bake in a preheated 350℉ for 12-14 minutes or until desired shade of light golden brown (time will vary depending on final thickness).
Shape Options For Low Carb Crackers
The beauty of these crackers are that you can form them into any shape you desire. For this recipe I used the smallest of the cutters from this set. I have also used a pizza cutter to cut squares or rectangles and these would be fun for creativity.
Fresh Rosemary vs Dried Rosemary
Either fresh or dried rosemary is perfectly fine to use for these crackers. If using fresh rosemary, make sure to chop well. However, if using dried rosemary it is best to grind the dry needles and the easiest way to do that is with a clean coffee grinder. I have small one I use just for rosemary so no other flavors sneak in to the rosemary when I grind it.
How To Store Low Carb Crackers
Once the crackers have cooled to room temperature, store in an airtight container or in bags similar to these.
