Oil-free and vegan olive crackers - perfect for snacking and dipping! #vegan #crackers #oil-free

I usually am a sweet "snacker" - so I like to have fruit, banana bread, chia pudding, etc. between my main meals. How about you? From time to time, though, I have this craving for something hearty and crunchy, like crackers. And, of course, at those times my kitchen cupboards have nothing to offer to satisfy my cravings. 

So, I decided to give it a go and make my own crackers to avoid these moments leaving me in tears. All right, I am joking. I wouldn't cry but I will annoy my boyfriend long enough to buy me some crackers.

Well, lucky for him I have this recipe now and these olive crackers are awesome! They are oil-free, sugar-freem easy to make and taste hearty and delcious.

The main ingredient for the olive crackers is chickpea flour. I don't know what it is about chickpea flour but I love the flavor of it and it's perfect in this recipe. I also added some spelt flour to the dough, as well as a few spoons of nutritional yeast which adds a "cheezy" touch.

In terms of spices I added a bit of garlic, thyme, salt and pepper but not too much as we don't want to overpower the star of the show: Olives! I used kalamata olives in this recipe but feel free to use whatever kind of olives you like or have on hand.

Not a fan of olives? Just leave them out.

For really crunchy crackers, make sure to roll the dough really thin. And when I say really thin, I mean it. I think it took me about 10 min to roll it as thin as I wanted it to be. Patience is the key. In the end you can give yourself a pat on the pack, when these golden olive-crackers leave the oven. Then you can start dipping them into hummus, tomato jam, vegan cream cheese, this creamy leek-dip or whatever your heart desires.

Description

In the mood for a hearty, crunchy snack? Then these oil-free olive crackers made from chickpea flour will definitely hit the spot. Turn on the oven and get out that rolling pan 'cause we'll be making crackers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chickpea flour ((150 g))
  • ½ cup spelt flour ((60 g))
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast ((12 g))
  • ¼ tsp turmeric ((optional))
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp thyme, dried
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 7-8 olives, pitted, drained, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup filtered water (+ more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add ⅓ cup of water and incorporate using a spoon. 
  2. Knead everything using your hands until a firm dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water by the tablespoon.
  3. Lastly, add the finely chopped olives and knead them into the dough. Cover and put aside for 5-10 min.
  4. Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
  5. Put the dough in between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll the dough until it's really thin. Make sure that the middle portion is just as thin as the edges, if possible.
  6. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto a baking tray. Carefully remove the top parchment paper.
  7. Using a knife/pizza cutter to cut the dough into small rectangles. Poke each rectancgle with a fork a few times, if you want.
  8. Bake the crackers for 11-5 min until golden brown. The outer crackers might brown up pretty quickly, so you might want to break them off and bake the rest of the dough longer.
  9. Once done, take the crackers out of the oven and let them cool on the baking tray.

    This recipe sounds delicious. Unfortunately my oven does not go more hot than 270C, is this recipe still possible and if so what adjustments do I need to make. Thanks.

      Sorry Mike, that was actually a mistake in the recipe. It was supposed to say 350°F, which is around 175°C. I changed so you should be good to go with your oven 😉

    Instead of the oven, can these be made in a dehydrator?

    This looks like such a lovely recipe ~ thank you! I can’t wait to try it! Is it okay to omit the nutritional yeast/replace it with something else? Thanks so much!
