Crispy Keto Crackers — Only 2 Ingredients Needed!
Super crispy keto crackers that are perfect for dipping, smothering, or simply snacking.
With a flavor reminiscent of Cheez-Its®, these low-carb parmesan and almond snack crackers are a hit—even with my kiddos. They have a fabulous, crispy texture and unlike many cheese-based crackers, they still pack that crunch days later! Woohoo!
Hip Recipe Tips:
-
- I have found that using freshly grated parmesan works much better than store-bought, pre-shredded varieties. Yes, it takes a bit of extra time, but trust me, it’s worth it!
-
- To crush the sliced almonds: Gently place them in the palm of your hand and squeeze slightly. The goal is to break the fine almond slices just a bit. Once crushed, the almonds should be similar in size to whole oats, certainly NOT a fine meal, so don’t get too crazy when you’re crushing.
-
- You can always switch these up by adding a fresh herb like dill or rosemary. A seasoning added to the top such as Everything But the Bagel seasoning would be so tasty, too!
Two ingredients, One net carb, 100% AMAZING!
The process is super simple, yet the reward is outstanding. A super low-carb cracker that takes 5 minutes to prep, bakes in 20 minutes, and is ready to eat within 10 minutes out of the oven.
Crispy Keto Parmesan Almond Crackers
yield: 5 SERVINGS
prep time: 5 MINUTES
cook time: 20 MINUTES
total time: 25 MINUTES
Shredded parmesan and almond slices bake up for a crunchy keto snack!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly crushed using your hands (not the roasted variety)
- 5 oz parmesan cheese block, finely shredded
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2
Spread half the parmesan cheese onto the prepared pan creating a rectangle that's approximately 8" x 14". Evenly sprinkle the gently crushed, sliced almonds over the cheese. Layer the remaining cheese over the almonds. Use your hands to push any stray bits into the rectangle forming an even edge.
3
Bake for 10 minutes (cheese will be bubbly and melting). Remove from oven. Allow to rest for about 30 seconds. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough first lengthwise, then widthwise. I usually make 4 cuts lengthwise and 8 cuts widthwise which results in 45 individual crackers. Gently separate each cracker.
4
Return to oven for 7-10 minutes until crackers begin to turn golden. Remove from oven. Place crackers on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Crackers should crisp as they cool.
5
Note: If your crackers are not crispy after cooling, you can return them to the oven for a few more minutes.
Additional Notes
Once fully cooled, store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Attention, Snackaholics!
GET EXCITED, because you just discovered the Holy Grail of keto munchy food! You can munch on these alone or serve them alongside your favorite dip, such as this wonderful Keto Spinach Dip! I also like to use these when creating a keto charcuterie board using Italian meats and cheeses, as a yummy party appetizer.
These are really delish! Have you tried any other cheese combinations fir this recipe?

Oh My Gosh! Thank you! Thank you! for the chip recipes. I keep falling off keto wanting “crunch” that didn’t take HOURS to make.
You are so welcome!
We are quarantined and I only have almond meal and bagged Parmesan. Is it worth it to try?
Good question! You could always try a small test batch to see how it might turn out for you. Let us know if it works out well!
I would say yes! It’s all I have at the moment too.
I have trouble digesting nuts, especially almonds. Is there anything else I can add to the parmesan, to make parmesan crisps? Thanks☺ I am really struggling with the keto diet, as I can’t eat a lot of vegetables and nuts.
Hi Stefanie! You could leave out and add a fresh herb or seasoning. The seasoning tip is listed above. This would give you a cheese crisp. Here is a similar option- https://hip2keto.com/recipes/easy-cheese-crisps-keto-snack/

How much ahead for an event could I make these and how should they be stored? Thanks.
Hi Cynthia! They should be fine for a day or two on the counter, in a loosely-sealed bag. Hope this is helpful!
