Prepare the Zucchini
Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. This step is essential for crispy crackers. -
Mix the Dough
In a bowl, combine zucchini, almond flour, flaxseed, olive oil, herbs, garlic powder, turmeric, pepper, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. -
Shape the Crackers
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out thinly (about 2–3 mm). Remove top parchment and cut into squares. -
Bake
Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Transfer parchment with crackers to a baking tray.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. -
Cool & Crunch
Let crackers cool completely. They will crisp up more as they cool.
