Those look like crispy zucchini herb crackers topped with sesame seeds—perfect for a savory, anti-inflammatory snack. Here’s a full, from-scratch recipe you can follow:
🥒 Anti-Inflammatory Baked Zucchini Herb Crackers
🌿 Why They’re Anti-Inflammatory
Zucchini – rich in antioxidants (vitamin C, carotenoids)
Olive oil – anti-inflammatory healthy fats
Turmeric + black pepper – powerful inflammation-fighting combo
Garlic + herbs – immune-supportive compounds
Sesame seeds – contain sesamin, known for anti-inflammatory properties
🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~24 crackers)
1 cup finely grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
1 cup almond flour
½ cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour if preferred)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, boosts omega-3s)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
½ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (or 1 small clove minced very fine)
½ tsp sea salt
2–3 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional, omit for dairy-free)
1 tbsp sesame seeds (for topping)
1–2 tbsp water (only if needed)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Zucchini
Grate zucchini finely.
Place in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible (this ensures crisp crackers).
2️⃣ Make the Dough
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine almond flour, oat flour, flaxseed, herbs, turmeric, pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
Stir in zucchini and olive oil.
Mix into a dough. If too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.
3️⃣ Roll & Cut
Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
Roll very thin (about 1/8 inch thick).
Remove top parchment and score into squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and lightly press them in.
4️⃣ Bake
Transfer parchment with dough onto baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
If edges brown faster, remove outer pieces and bake center a few minutes longer.
5️⃣ Cool
Let cool completely—they crisp up more as they cool.
Break apart along scored lines.
🧊 Storage
Store in airtight container at room temp for 4–5 days
For extra crispness, reheat in oven at 300°F for 5 minutes
🔥 Optional Add-Ins
1 tsp grated fresh ginger (extra anti-inflammatory boost)
½ tsp smoked paprika
Chopped fresh rosemary
Nutritional yeast for dairy-free cheesy flavor
