keto crackers recipe cravings hit at the weirdest times, right? Maybe you want something salty and crunchy with your coffee, or you need a speedy bite between meetings.

The ingredients are simple, the method is easy, and the crunch is so satisfying. Let me show you how I make them in 3 no-stress steps that anyone can pull off.
Why I love this recipe
I’ve made a lot of simple snack recipes, but this one checks all my boxes. It’s quick to mix, easy to roll, and the results are reliably crisp. The dough behaves well, so you don’t end up fighting a sticky mess. And the flavor? Clean, savory, and just garlicky enough to make your kitchen smell like you know what you’re doing.
These crackers are also a lifesaver when I’m trying to stay on track. They’re low in carbs, gluten free, and they store nicely for days. I’ve shared them with friends who don’t even eat low carb and they never guess. The biggest compliment I got was from a neighbor who asked for the recipe and then texted me a photo of her empty jar an hour later.
“I thought I’d miss store-bought crackers, but these were crunchier, more flavorful, and weirdly addictive. My husband asked me to hide them, which kind of says it all.”
And because it truly is simple, it deserves its name: Easy & Delicious Keto Crackers Recipe in Just 3 Steps! If the title sounds bold, the results back it up.
How to make low carb crackers
I learned to keep this method short and sweet. This Easy & Delicious Keto Crackers Recipe in Just 3 Steps! takes less than 10 minutes of hands-on time and gives you that snappy, bakery-style crunch without fuss.
What you will need
- Almond flour superfine works best for a smooth crumb
- Ground flaxseed or psyllium husk for structure and crunch
- Egg for binding
- Olive oil or melted butter for richness
- Garlic powder and dried herbs like parsley, oregano, or Italian blend
- Salt and a pinch of black pepper
- Optional: grated Parmesan for a nutty, cheesy edge
3 easy steps
- Mix: In a bowl, whisk the egg with oil. Add almond flour, flax or psyllium, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, and Parmesan if using. Stir until a soft dough forms. If it feels sticky, rest it for 3 minutes so the fibers hydrate.
- Roll and score: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment. Roll to 1.5 to 2 mm thin for maximum crunch. Peel the top sheet, square off edges, and score into small squares with a pizza wheel or knife. Prick with a fork to prevent bubbles.
- Bake: Slide the parchment onto a sheet pan. Bake at 325°F 165°C for 16 to 20 minutes until the edges turn golden. Turn the pan halfway if your oven has hot spots. Let the crackers cool fully on the pan to crisp up.
That’s it. No chill time, no special tools. If you want them extra thin, divide the dough and roll two batches. Cooling is not optional though. The crisp magic happens as they cool, so give them a few minutes before snacking.
Armans recipe tips and variations
These are the little things I do that make a big difference. Over time, I’ve tested this dough when I was tired, busy, or distracted, and it still came through. Here’s what I’ve learned.
Use parchment on both sides so you can roll super thin without sticking. If the dough shrinks back when rolling, wait 2 minutes, then try again. Score before baking so the crackers break cleanly. And if the tray bakes unevenly, remove the done edges and return the center pieces for 2 to 3 more minutes.
Flavor tip: Adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan gives the edges a lovely golden color and a savory pop. If you love heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Flavor ideas
– Everything bagel: sesame, poppy, dried onion, and extra salt
– Rosemary sea salt: chopped rosemary and flaky salt on top
– Cheddar jalapeno: fold in 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar and a tiny bit of minced jalapeno
– Smoky paprika: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and a touch of onion powder
– Lemon herb: a little lemon zest with parsley for a bright, clean finish
Use the Easy & Delicious Keto Crackers Recipe in Just 3 Steps! as a base, then swap spices to match your mood. You can even divide the dough and try two flavors on one tray if you’re feeling playful.
Substitutions
If you need to adjust for preferences or pantry gaps, here’s what actually works and keeps the texture crisp.
Almond flour: The recipe is written for almond flour. If you only have coconut flour, you’ll need much less. Try 1/2 cup coconut flour, add one extra egg, and a tablespoon more oil, then adjust with a teaspoon of water at a time until the dough holds. The flavor will be different but still good.
Flax vs psyllium: Ground golden flax gives a rustic crunch and light nutty taste. Psyllium makes a very crisp bite and is neutral in flavor. Use 1 tablespoon either way. If using whole flax seeds, pulse them first for better binding.
Dairy free: Swap butter for olive oil or avocado oil. Skip the Parmesan or use a dairy free hard cheese alternative. The crackers will still brown if you bake long enough.
Egg free: Use a flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flax plus 2.5 tablespoons water, mix and rest 5 minutes. The crackers will be slightly more rustic but still crisp when rolled thin.
Fresh herbs: You can use fresh, but dry gives more consistent flavor in baked crackers. If using fresh, chop very fine and use a bit more.
If you’re swapping ingredients, the Easy & Delicious Keto Crackers Recipe in Just 3 Steps! still works as long as you keep the dough thin and bake until deeply golden at the edges. Color is your best cue for crunch.
What to serve with Keto Garlic and Herb Crackers
This is where the fun starts. These crackers are neutral enough to pair with lots of toppings, but flavorful enough to snack on plain. For a quick lunch or a party board, try a mix of spreads and fresh bites.

- Veggie sides: cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and crunchy bell peppers
- Soup sidekick: dunk into tomato soup or a cozy chicken broth

Hot tip: for party boards, bake a double batch and mix shapes squares and triangles look cute and help your board look fuller without more work.
Common Questions
How do I keep them crisp?
Let them cool completely on the pan, then store in an airtight jar. If they soften, re-crisp in a 300°F 150°C oven for 4 to 5 minutes.
Can I make them in an air fryer?
Yes. Roll thin and cook on parchment at 300°F 150°C for 8 to 12 minutes, checking often. Work in batches.
How long do they last?
Up to 1 week at room temp in a sealed container. They freeze well for 2 months. Thaw uncovered for best crunch.
What thickness works best?
Aim for 1.5 to 2 mm. Thinner equals crisper. If you like a heartier bite, go 3 mm and add 1 to 2 minutes of bake time.
Do I need to flip them?
Not usually. If your oven browns unevenly, rotate the pan and remove browned edges first, then finish the center pieces.
