Gluten Free Herb Crackers and a Giveaway!

When I made my Homemade Wheat Thins the other day, a lot of you wanted a gluten free cracker as well.  This recipe is more for adults than kids, but it’s so good!  But first, let me tell you about the giveaway.

If you need help on your knife skills like I do, this giveaway is for you!  I used this mezzaluna from Joseph Joseph to cut the herbs in this recipe.  Let me tell you it worked so well!  Makes me wonder why it took me so long to get one!  Joesph Joseph is also going to give a mezzaluna to one lucky winner.

  10. Repeat these steps with the other half of the dough. 
  11. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

Recipe Notes

You can probably do the whole thing in the dehydrator as well if you want to keep them raw. I got around 30 crackers in my batch. Store them in a container with dry rice scattered at the bottom. The rice will absorb the moisture and keep the crackers crispy. Enjoy!

  1. Just made a batch of these, and almost ate the whole thing myself. They were super easy, and I think they are a great base for other recipes. I'm hoping that I can find the right moisture balance for one with oregano/basil, tomato paste/red bell pepper, and nutritional yeast, similar to pizza kale chips I've made before. Thanks for the inspiration!
  2. Made these tonight with quinoa. They were tasty, but I had a hard time flipping them over because they were sticking to the parchment paper and I felt like I lost a lot of dough on it. Is that normal?
