Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, shredded cheese, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a consistent dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with almond flour. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, carefully cut the rolled dough into small square or rectangular cracker shapes. Leave a small space between each cracker to ensure even baking.
- Gently separate the crackers and transfer the parchment paper with crackers onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, break apart the crackers and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Moisture Matters: Ensure your mashed sweet potatoes are not too wet. If they seem runny, drain excess liquid or pat them dry to prevent soggy crackers.
- Cheese Selection: Use a sharp or aged cheese for more intense flavor. Cheddar, parmesan, or a blend works wonderfully.
- Rolling Technique: Use parchment paper when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking and make transfer easier.
- Uniform Thickness: Try to roll the dough to an even 1/8 inch thickness for consistent baking and crispiness.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet - this helps them achieve that perfect crisp texture.
- Storage Tip: Keep in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness, and they'll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
