Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (195g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (240g)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon spices of choice (cinnamon or garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.)
- 1/4 cup grated cheese of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Mix and Knead: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. First combine with a spoon then mix everything together by hand and knead until a dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat and Roll: Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide the dough into 2. Place the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness. You can adjust the thickness depending on how crispy you want your crackers to be.
- Cut Shapes: Use a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or fluted pastry wheel cut the dough into desired cracker shapes. You can go for squares, rectangles, or even use cookie cutters for fun shapes!
- Transfer: Transfer the entire parchment paper with the cut crackers onto prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Flip over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
- Cool: Take out of the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Notes
- Adjust dough consistency by adding more flour one tablespoon at a time if too sticky.
- You can customize the spices according to your taste with cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.
- Use cookie cutters for fun cracker shapes.
- Keep an eye on crackers during the last minutes of baking to prevent burning.
