Turn your leftover nut pulp into crispy, savoury crackers that are perfect with dips, cheese, or just as a snack. Packed with a delicious, nutty flavour, these crackers are easy to make, and you can customise them with a range of seasonings!
Ingredients:
- 150g nut pulp (from making homemade nut milk)
- 75g plain flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A pinch of salt
Optional Seasonings:
- Herb Blend: Dried rosemary, thyme, and basil for a Mediterranean flavour.
- Spicy Kick: A pinch of chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Zesty Citrus: Grated lemon or orange zest with sea salt for a tangy twist.
- Cheesy Twist: Nutritional yeast or a pinch of Parmesan for a “cheesy” taste.
- Garlic & Herb: Garlic powder with parsley or chives.
- Everything Bagel: Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion, and garlic flakes.
- Italian Blend: Oregano, basil, and a touch of fennel.
- Sweet & Savoury: Cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of honey.
- Seaweed & Sesame: Crushed seaweed (like nori) and sesame seeds for an umami boost.
- Za’atar: This Middle Eastern blend (thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac) brings an earthy flavour.
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the nut pulp, flour, olive oil, and salt. Add your choice of seasonings to take your crackers up a notch.
- Form the Dough: Mix until a dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a bit more olive oil or water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Roll Out: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly (about 2-3mm) for a super-crispy texture.
- Score into Squares: Remove the top parchment layer and use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into squares or rectangles.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary.
- Cool & Break Apart: Let the crackers cool, then break them along the scored lines.
Enjoy your zero-waste, nutty crackers with your favourite dips or as a crunchy snack! They’ll stay fresh in an airtight container for up to a week—if they last that long!
