FAQs
Can I make Easy Homemade Zucchini Herb Crackers with Almond Flour ahead of time?
Yes, bake them a day or two in advance and store in an airtight container; they stay crisp.
What’s the best substitute for almond flour?
Ground pecans or hazelnuts work well, but reduce the amount by ¼ cup because they release more oil.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep in a tightly sealed jar at room temperature; add a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
Why did my crackers turn out soggy?
Most likely the zucchini wasn’t squeezed dry enough or the dough was too thick. Make sure to remove all moisture and spread the dough thin.
