Baked “Cheese” Crisps {Vegan}

Baked “Cheese” Crisps {Vegan}

Are you a salty or a sweet snacker?

Or maybe you could go either way, depending on your mood? 

When a salty craving hits in the evening (because even though we try not to be, so many of us are evening snackers, right?) we need a healthy alternative. As a default, I like air-popped popcorn with a drizzle of coconut oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.

If I have a little bit of extra time though, these Baked “Cheese” Crisps are always worth the effort to whip up. (And I promise it isn’t even that much extra effort required – these come together in less than 30 minutes from start to finish!)

These delicate crisps might look like crackers, but they are actually much closer to potato chips in texture. Even though you might not guess because of their cheesy flavor, these crunchy bites of perfection are vegan; their cheese-like flavor comes from a bit of nutritional yeast. I think they taste like a cross between Fritos and Cheez-Its, and truth be told, are more than a little addictive when it comes to snacking.

Plus the recipe is easy to double if you want to serve them at a party. (Hello, Super Bowl!)

Baked “Cheese” Crisps {Vegan}
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  12 mins
Total time:  27 mins
Yield: About 40 to 50 small crackers, or 2 to 4 servings
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (56 g) almond meal
  • 1½ teaspoons nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon water (slightly more or less as needed)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and get out a large baking sheet.
  2. Whisk together the almond meal, nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the olive oil and then enough water so it comes together as dough (about 1 tablespoon of water).
  3. Carefully roll the dough out between 2 large sheets of parchment paper until it’s a paper-thin circle about 12 inches in diameter. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and use a wheel pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1½ to 2 inch squares.
  4. Leave the dough on the parchment and place the whole sheet of parchment on the half sheet pan. Bake until the crackers are light golden and crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the tray once. Cool completely before removing from the tray and serving.
  5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

    These look amazing, and I have all the ingredients already! It’s pretty serendipitous because I’m a both-ways snacker, and am all set in the sweet department with some cookies, but was lacking in savory nibbles.

    I’m definitely a salty snacker – salty, buttered popcorn is my favorite. :) These cheese crisps look like they could wipe out any salty craving I would ever have – they look sooo good!

    What a fabulous ingredient list! And they look delicious! I usually crave salty way more than sweet…but I do have my sweet craving moments! I have extra almond meal in the cabinet- I’ll definitely give these a go. I bet Kay would love them

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
#ad If you're looking for an easy baking project t #ad If you're looking for an easy baking project that's perfect for spring, Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies are it! 🌿 These cakey vanilla-scented cookies are frosted with colorful buttercream and decorated with sprinkles. (Tip: Swap out the colors and they're perfect for any season!) I like to scoop the dough, but you can also roll it out and stamp out the dough with cookie cutters to customize them even more.
 
I used @egglandsbest eggs in this recipe! Compared with ordinary eggs, EB's eggs have 6 times more Vitamin D, more than double the Omega-3s and vitamin B12, and 10 times more vitamin E. How can you tell you are using EB egg? Look for the “EB” stamp right on the shell. 🥚

This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
