    These remind me of the “sprouted seed crackers “ I have purchased from my local health food stores. Very good and nice to have with soup or a liver pâté (which I make from the chicken livers I get from whole birds I roast). Have even taken these on picnics to eat with cheese and salami. And, yes, I also found adding nutritional yeast a nice touch.

      Success! Because I have a 'let's use what I have' policy I used ground walnuts rather than walnuts. I used both Linwoods ground pumpkin seed and ground sunflower seeds with goji berries (because I had stored them together in the one jar). I also substituted nutritional yeast for the parmesan cheese because it's what I had. I added perhaps an extra teaspoon of water because I wondered if the yeast would have a higher level of absorption. I used a lovely mixed salt condiment, Cape Herb & Spice seasoned salt that I have been enjoying lately. It all worked beautifully. This is a keeper 👏👏👏

        Any suggestions for a dairy-free version of these? Maybe I could substitute the parmesan with something else?

                  Are ground almonds the same as using almond flour or do I need to find ground almonds or grind my own almonds? Thank you.

                    In the case of this recipe you can use almond flour (blanched/skins removed) or almond meal (with skins) or ground almonds (means almonds that have been ground without specifying with or without skin. If you choose to grind whioe almonds, be sure not to over grind to the point the oil is extracted and you will have almond paste very quickly depending on your processor. I personally only buy organic almonds as glyphosate along with other cancer causing chemicals, herbicides and pesticides and when I can't afford organic I don't eat them.

                    No it’s not the same. Ground almonds are synonymous with almond meal. Almond meal is almonds ground with their skins on. It’s coarser. Almond flour is usually blanched with skins removed and it’s a much finer consistency, used for baking when a smoother texture is needed.

                  These are so tasty! I love the warmth of the rosemary and the saltiness of the Parmesan. Perfect as a snack on its own or on a charcuterie board. Thanks for the great recipe!

                      Delicious. I left out the rosemary, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Will def be making these again.

                          I don’t see why not. You may need more salt as Parmesan adds salt.

                        Delicious and crunchy snack! I think I’ll add garlic powder to my next batch.

                          Could I substitute nutritional yeast for the parmesan to make it dairy free?

                            I was thinking that would work as I don't have any parmesan cheese in the cupboard at the moment. Did you try the nutritional yeast? I'm curious if it was successful.

                          These are delicious! I’ve been searching for some Keto crackers that are actually crispy and tasty and these hit the spot. I left them in the oven to cool down afterwards and this really worked to crisp them up. I also had to use melon seeds instead of pumpkin seeds as I didn’t have any and I’m not sure of the macros for melon seeds. Will definitely be making a double batch next!

                            Do they stay crispy if being stored in a Tupperware for a few days?

                                Delicious! These are so crunchy, much better than another cracker recipe I tried. I pulsed the walnuts down a bit before adding the pumpkin seeds. And then I finished everything off in the food processor, no need to transfer to another bowl. They were so good, I made a double batch the following day. However, I was out of pumpkin seeds so I substitute it with sunflower seeds. Same great texture, but the flavor was definitely different. Sunflower seeds are good in a pinch, but the crackers much tastier with pumpkin seeds. The dough also freezes nicely, I put mine in a Ziploc bag after wrapping it in plastic wrap, too.

                                Is it walnuts or almonds?

                                  Hi! Sorry, I’m not sure I follow the question? Ground almonds are used to help bind the biscuit as a flour and walnuts are used for crunch and texture. Hope that helps!
