Perfect for gluten-free, low-carb, or keto diets. You control the ingredients, so make them to your needs and taste.

This cracker recipe is always a favorite at parties. It has now made the rounds through my wife's friends. In its lower carb state, there are only approximately 6.6 net carbs for the entire batch.

This is a modification of a recipe from Blaine's Low Carb Kitchen many years ago. The original recipe had poppy seeds. I prefer sesame seeds, and I also added salt and simplified the recipe.

👨‍🍳How to make Parmesan Sesame Low-Carb Keto Crackers

1. Preheat oven to 325° conventional or 300° convection.
2. Mix soy flour, grated parmesan cheese, and sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add egg and oil, and mix well—it is crumbly and barely holds together.
4. Form it into a ball and cut the ball in half.
5. Place half the dough between parchment paper on the bottom and wax paper on top. Roll dough with a rolling pin until dough is about 9" x 11" in size and thin like a cracker. Remove the wax paper.
6. Place the parchment paper with the rolled-out dough on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle top with more sesame seeds and kosher salt (keep it light).
7. Cover with wax paper and press the salt and sesame seeds into the dough with hand pressure.
8. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into the size of the cracker you want. Go most of the way through, not all the way.
9. Bake each sheet of cracker dough for 20-25 minutes until evenly browned and crisp.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pans.
11. Break apart along the cut lines.

About Soy vs Wheat Flour

The recipe calls for soy flour, but any flour or flour substitute can be used. I usually use all-purpose unbleached flour if not trying for low-carb or gluten-free results.

Preheat oven to 325° conventional or 300° convection.

Mix flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl. Be sure to get all the lumps out of the Parmesan cheese.

Add egg and oil, and mix with a wooden spoon or hands. This will be dry and crumbly and barely hold together.

Form it into a ball and cut the ball in half.

Place half the dough between parchment paper on the bottom and wax paper on top. Roll dough with a rolling pin until dough is about 9" x 11" in size and thin like a cracker. Remove the wax paper.

Place the parchment paper with the rolled-out dough on a large cookie sheet. Sprinkle top with more sesame seeds and kosher salt (keep it light).

Cover with the wax paper again. Press the salt and sesame seeds into the dough with hand pressure on the wax paper.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into the size of the cracker you want. Go most of the way through, not all the way.

Bake each sheet of cracker dough for 20-25 minutes until evenly browned and crisp. (I bake both pans simultaneously in a convection oven and rotate the pans at 11 minutes. Then it takes another 12 minutes in our oven.)

Remove from the oven and let cool on the pans. Break into individual crackers following the cuts.
