🥒 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
