Gluten Free Cheddar Almond Crackers
Crunchy, cheesy, and deeply savory, these almond flour crackers are the kind of snack that disappears fast — especially when you set them out with a cheese board or a bowl of soup. The base is built entirely on almond flour, which means there's no wheat, no starch blends, and no guesswork about hidden gluten sources the way there can be with store-bought cracker options. Sharp cheddar gets worked right into the dough, so every single bite is loaded with that bold, tangy flavor rather than just a dusting on top. Smoked paprika and garlic powder add a subtle warmth, and the optional pinch of cayenne gives the batch a gentle kick if you're into that. Rolling the chilled dough thin between two sheets of parchment is the real trick here — it's what gives you that satisfying snap instead of a soft, crumbly texture. A finish of flaky sea salt before they go into the oven takes them from homemade to genuinely impressive. This recipe makes six servings, so there's plenty to share, though you may find yourself reconsidering that plan once they come out of the oven.
