Carrot & Apricot Crackers

Jul 16, 2019 · 3 Comments

I don't particularly like apricots, but for some reason was inspired to create a cracker recipe using them.  And OH MY!  So glad I did!  The results were these delicious, grain free Carrot & Apricot Crackers.

These nutty Paleo crackers are slightly chewy, with a subtle apricot flavor.  And as for the carrots, their taste is unrecognizable but offers a unique orange hue and provides a few extra nutrients.  (Always a bonus in my opinion.)

Paleo Cracker Recipe with Carrots (2)

Ingredients in Carrot & Apricot Crackers

These gluten free crackers contain 6 simple Paleo and Vegan ingredients.  They are dairy free, grain free and a wonderful kid friendly snack.

Ingredients:

  • carrot
  • dried apricot
  • almonds
  • walnuts
  • shredded coconut
  • salt

How to Make Carrot & Apricot Crackers

To make these crackers, a food processor or high powered blender is necessary.  But, that makes preparation quick and easy!

First, add all ingredients to food processor.  Blend for about a minute.  The mixture should be sticky and crumbly, but hold together when pressed into a ball.

Remove cracker mixture from the food processor and roll into a ball.  Then, flatten the ball and roll between two sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin.  Try to roll the dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼" thick.

Next, remove the top layer of parchment and cut the crackers using a knife or pizza cutter.  Note: the crackers do not need to be cut all the way through.  You can go back and "perfect" the cut after baking, while the crackers are cooling.

Transfer the crackers (on parchment) to a baking sheet.  Place in a preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Depending on the cracker size and thickness, baking time will slightly vary.

Lastly, remove the crackers from the oven and cool to room temperature on a wire cooling rack.  Now is the time to fully separate the crackers and make sure they're cut all the way through.

Best Way to Store Homemade Crackers

These crackers store well at room temperature for up to a week.  Simply place them in an air-tight container (I use THESE) and set in your pantry.  They can also be kept in the fridge.
