Gluten-Free Beet Crackers Recipe

Introduction

These gluten-free beet crackers are a colorful and healthy snack option, packed with natural sweetness from beets and a satisfying crunch. They’re easy to make and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a wholesome, homemade treat without gluten.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked beets, mashed or finely grated
• 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (or almond flour)
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine mashed beets, oat flour, flaxseed, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Step 3: Stir the mixture until a thick, pliable dough forms. If the dough feels too wet, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of water.
4. Step 4: Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness.
5. Step 5: Remove the top parchment sheet and cut the dough into triangles or your desired cracker shapes.
6. Step 6: Transfer the parchment with the crackers onto the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crackers are crisp and firm to the touch.
7. Step 7: Let the crackers cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Tips & Variations

• Use golden beets for a milder flavor and lighter color.
• Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for an aromatic twist.
• If you want extra crunch, bake the crackers a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Substitute oat flour with almond flour for a nuttier taste and lower carbs.

Storage

Store the beet crackers in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place. They will stay fresh for up to one week. To re-crisp, you can warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I use raw beets instead of cooked?

It’s best to use cooked beets as raw ones have too much moisture and can make the dough too wet. Cooking also develops the natural sweetness.

Are these crackers suitable for a vegan diet?

Yes, this recipe is naturally vegan since it uses only plant-based ingredients like beets, flour, flaxseed, and olive oil.
