Xanthan Gum Free Savory Chickpea Flour Crackers with Turmeric & Rosemary

Chickpea flour is the quiet MVP of grain-free baking, and here it pulls off something genuinely impressive: a crisp, snappy cracker with zero need for any binding additives. That matters a lot when you're avoiding xanthan gum, because so many store-bought crackers and gluten-free baked goods lean on it heavily — and tracking it down on ingredient labels gets old fast. Here, the dough comes together with just olive oil and cold water, and the chickpea flour does all the structural work on its own. The flavor payoff is serious: earthy turmeric, fragrant fresh rosemary, a hit of garlic, and a finish of flaky sea salt make these taste like something from a fancy charcuterie spread. Rolling the dough thin directly on the parchment is the key move — it's what gives you that satisfying, light crunch once the crackers cool and crisp up on the pan. They're endlessly snackable on their own, but also excellent alongside hummus, cheese, or a bowl of soup. Once you see how straightforward the process is, a batch of these will become a regular part of your rotation.
