Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1¼ cups (180g) cassava flour
1/4 cup (24g) golden flaxseed meal (optional)
1/2 teaspoon fine Himalayan salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 teaspoons dried oregano (optional)
6 tablespoons (78g) olive oil
8 tablespoons (108g) water
1 tablespoon (20g) tomato paste (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cassava flour, flaxseed meal, salt, garlic powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and oregano. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: olive oil, water, and tomato paste until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir using a spatula until the mixture begins forming a dough, then use your hands to fully combine and shape it into a smooth dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a thin square, about 1/8-inch thick. Make sure the thickness is even across the entire sheet. Transfer the rolled dough (with parchment paper) onto a baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into 1-inch squares.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven, gently separate and space out the crackers, then return them to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes to remove any excess moisture and achieve extra crispness.
Sprinkle the crackers with additional salt and oregano if desired. Allow them to cool completely before serving.

Variations

Spicy pizza crackers
Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the dough for a spicy kick.

Herb crackers
Mix in dried basil, thyme, or rosemary along with oregano for a more herb-forward flavor.

Cheesy style crackers
Nutritional yeast can be added to give the crackers a cheesy flavor while keeping them vegan.

Plain cassava crackers
Skip the garlic powder, oregano, and tomato paste to create a neutral cracker that pairs well with dips and spreads.

Seeded crackers
Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or sunflower seeds on top before baking for added texture.

Storage/Reheating

Storage
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Freezing
You can freeze baked crackers in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Allow them to thaw at room temperature before eating.

Reheating
If the crackers lose their crispness, place them in a 300°F oven for about 5 minutes to restore their crunch.

FAQs

Can I make these crackers without flaxseed meal?

Yes. The flaxseed meal is optional and mainly adds texture and a slight nutty flavor. The recipe works well even if you omit it.

What does cassava flour taste like?

Cassava flour has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that works well in both savory and sweet recipes.

How thin should the dough be?

Rolling the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness ensures the crackers bake evenly and become crisp.

Can I make these crackers without tomato paste?

Yes. The tomato paste adds a subtle pizza flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer a more neutral cracker.

Why are my crackers not crispy?

They may still contain moisture. Baking them longer or spacing them out during the second bake helps achieve a crisp texture.

Can I add other seasonings?

Absolutely. Italian seasoning, paprika, onion powder, or chili flakes are great additions.

Do I need parchment paper?

Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes rolling the dough easier, but a silicone baking mat can also work.

Can I use a different oil?

Yes. Avocado oil or melted coconut oil can replace olive oil if desired.

Are these crackers gluten-free?

Yes. Cassava flour is naturally gluten-free, making these crackers suitable for gluten-free diets.

What can I serve with these crackers?

They pair well with hummus, guacamole, salsa, dairy-free cheese spreads, or even soups.
