How to Make Crunchy Gluten-Free Snacking

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour (110 grams)
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water (60 ml)
Optional: herbs or spices to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, chia seeds, and salt. If you want, add in any optional herbs or spices at this point.
Pour in the olive oil and water. Stir everything together until a dough forms.
Take the dough and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. Roll it out until it is thin.
Carefully remove the top layer of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into the shapes of your choice.
Gently move the parchment paper with the crackers onto the baking sheet.
Bake them in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
