Low-Carb Spicy Cheese Crackers

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
• 2 egg whites from large eggs
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit perfectly on the bottom of an 11 x 16 1/2-inch sheet pan.
2. In a bowl, combine the almond flour and seasonings. Stir in the egg whites with a fork. Add the cheese and stir until dough forms.
3. Crumble the dough evenly onto the parchment paper. Cover the dough with a sheet of greased wax paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a smooth, even layer the same size as the sheet pan.
4. Carefully peel off the wax paper. Using a sharp knife, score the dough into 80 crackers (8 x 10).
5. Bake the dough for 10-11 minutes or until it is lightly browned.
6. Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes, then separate the crackers. Store in an airtight container.
