Garlic Rosemary Vegan Crackers with a Twist Recipe by Spicie Foodie

Happy Tuesday everyone! Thank you for all the well wishes regarding the technical difficulties. Fortunately I had an older copy of my database in addition to copies of some of the posts that were lost. As you can see things are up and running and I’m excited to share a brand new recipe with you for my current favorite homemade crackers.

Garlic Rosemary Vegan Crackers with a Twist Recipe by Spicie Foodie

These crispy crackers always make my belly happy. They are quite a mixture of flavors that at first look may seem strange, but somehow they just work so well together. We really like them and I hope you do too. I’ve tried to make them as healthy as possible and so I’ve used olive oil as the fat and substituted half the flour with whole wheat. I’m keeping it short today and will get to the recipe straight away. Thanks for stopping by!

Garlic Rosemary Crackers with a Turmeric spice twist. Try them they're super easy and healthy too.
Author: SpicieFoodie.com & Nancy Lopez-McHugh
Recipe type: Vegan, Crackers, Baked, Snacks
Cuisine: Baked, International, Vegan, Fusion
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (140g) a.p. flour
  • 1 cup (140g) whole wheat flour, fine grade
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. Vegeta spice, no MSG variety
  • ½ tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp. granulated garlic
  • 3 tsp. dried rosemary
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ cup (118ml) + 2 tbsp. lukewarm water
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, use a good quality
You'll Also Need:
  • extra flour for rolling
  • coarse salt for topping, optional
  • a little water or oil to brush crackers, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400f or 200c, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or line with silicon slip mat, set aside. In a large bowl sift the two flours, and baking powder together. Stir in all of the spices and stir until well incorporated. Make a well in the center of the bowl, pour the ½ cup (118ml) of water and all of the olive oil into the bowl. Stir or work the dough with your hands until it comes together, gradually add the remaining 2 tbsp. of water if needed. The dough needs to be soft and elastic. Set aside and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Depending on how large the baking sheet is, you may want to divide the dough in half. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until very thin, you can adjust the thickness as you like but make sure you adjust the baking time. Transfer the dough onto baking sheet. Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into squares or desired cracker shapes. You won't need to cut all the way through because the dough shrinks and pulls apart as it bakes so they will break off easily. Use a fork to puncture the dough. Brush the crackers with water or olive oil then sprinkle the coarse salt over the crackers.
  3. Place baking sheet in center of oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. If you roll out the dough very thin start keeping an eye on the crackers after 8 minutes to prevent burning. Allow to cool completely before breaking individual crackers apart and storing or eating. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough.
  4. Store in a cool dry place as you would other crackers.

    Delightful crackers! I bet they are quite addictive. Perfect with a slice of gorgonzola cheese.

    Cheers,

    November 7, 2012 at 05:07

    These beautiful crackers would be good by themselves or with a nice bowl of soup. They sound so good! I’ve never made my own crackers before, but I’d love to try these. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:45

      Betty you should give it a try soon. Thanks!

  12. Faith says

    November 7, 2012 at 05:19

    Oh no, I’m so sorry about your technical difficulites, Nancy…that is so frustrating. I’m so happy you’re back up and running, and I hope everything is completely back to normal and nothing was lost permanently.

    These crackers are beautiful! I haven’t made homemade crackers in forever and every now and then I get the urge to do so…I think these tasty little beauties will be the next version I try. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:45

      Hi Faith,
      Thanks and I’m glad to be back on track again. I hope you do give them a try soon:)

    Hope your database issue is behind and everything is up and running. I get nervous when things like that happen. One day I really want to make homemade crackers. I really like the part where you cut into squares… I’m weird but it looks fun to cut into square shapes! These rosemary crackers sounds yum!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:46

      Hi Nami,
      Me too, lol:) It’s much easier in squares and requires less preparation time too.

  14. Julia | JuliasAlbum.com says

    These crackers look so good! It’s been a dream of mine to make my own crackers, but it always seemed a very difficult task. Just never tried making crackers before. You have gorgeous photos, too!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:47

      I used to think the same thing Julia, but it is so easy. Thanks and I hope you make yourself some soon.

  15. Phong Hong says

    November 7, 2012 at 10:20

    Homemade crakcers! That’s really great, Nancy! Really comes in handy when I get the munchies craving which does happen ever so often….

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:49

      They are perfect for that. We eat them as snacks, with cheese or on the side of soup. Enjoy:)

  16. Holly says

    November 7, 2012 at 13:08

    I’ve been wondering about using olive oil instead of butter for crackers, so I’ll have to give these a try when I make my next batch. What is Vegeta Spice though? I’ve never heard of it.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 7, 2012 at 14:52

      Hi Holly,

      I’ve found that olive oil works great -I use it for everything. Vegeta is a seasoning mix for all sorts of foods. If you can’t find it then it’s okay to omit.

  17. Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says

    November 7, 2012 at 19:42

    Love the flavors in this crackers!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 8, 2012 at 14:29

      Thanks Kiran!

  18. Vianney says

    November 7, 2012 at 19:48

    Glad you are up and running again! A wonderful savory treat and I agreee with Angie, guac all the way~~

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 8, 2012 at 14:30

      I’ll have to make sure I have some guacamole the next time I bake them.

  19. Sandra says

    November 7, 2012 at 22:59

    Glad you’re back on track and thanks for these beautiful pictures and the recipe.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      Thank you Sandra!

  20. kitchenriffs says

    November 8, 2012 at 03:41

    Wow, these look terrific! I never make my own crackers, which is silly – if I did, I could get exactly the flavor I want. And rosemary is such a great flavor in anything, but it’s particularly nice in crackers. And with the other flavors you’re using, these must be amazing! Really nice – thanks.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 8, 2012 at 14:31

      That is exactly why I love making my own crackers. The combinations are endless. Thanks!

  21. Juliana says

    November 8, 2012 at 03:49

    Homemade crackers…yum! Like the idea of rosemary and garlic…looks delicious.
    Thanks for the recipe Nancy and hope you are enjoying your week :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 8, 2012 at 14:31

      Thank you Juliana and the same to you:)

    November 8, 2012 at 15:52

    Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs! I love these crunchy spicy crackers. Crackers and breadsticks are always present on the table during the festive season in Italy! Great that you are back on track with your YUMMY blog. Ciao

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 8, 2012 at 22:58

      Hi Rita,
      I didn’t know that about Italy -nice to know. Thank you:)

    Having tasty crackers in the house is as dangerous as having a full cookie jar and these are some tasty crackers! Love the spices you used and the coarse salt on top was a classy finish. Saving this post for when the cookie jar is empty. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 11, 2012 at 21:54

      I agree MJ, but I prepare the savory crackers:) Thanks and enjoy!

    November 9, 2012 at 06:02

    these look delicious! i’m just starting to make my own crackers to feed my toddler, so much healthier than the store bought version. can’t wait to try these!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 11, 2012 at 21:55

      That’s one lucky toddler:)

  26. Suzanne Perazzini says

    November 9, 2012 at 06:37

    Glad to see you up and running again. What an awful thing to happen. I have never thought of making crackers at home but why not? It’s a great idea.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 11, 2012 at 21:55

      Thanks Suzanne!

  27. Jean (Lemons and Anchovies) says

    November 11, 2012 at 00:41

    I wondered what the technical difficulties were–glad it’s all resolved.

    I love homemade crackers, especially the flavor combo you put together. I bet the turmeric gave these a nice pop of flavor. :)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 11, 2012 at 22:00

      Thanks Jean and yes the turmeric is a yummy addition.

  28. Magic of Spice says

    November 11, 2012 at 04:13

    Glad your computer issues worked out :) And I love these cracker, always want to try making cracker…now I think I will need to :)

    i love a sprinkling of coarse salt on the top of my crackers–when it hits the tongue, it does all the right things! nice work!

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 12, 2012 at 16:13

      Thanks Grace!

  31. Patty says

    November 14, 2012 at 00:13

    Gorgeous! I could use a few crackers to break up in my soup;-)

    • Spicie Foodie says

      November 14, 2012 at 16:25

      That’s what I like to do too:)

  32. Cortney says

    January 27, 2013 at 18:19

    Sorry, maybe I am missing something but what is a.p. flour?

    • Spicie Foodie says

      January 28, 2013 at 00:04

      all purpose flour :)

    What a wonderful & simple recipe! I made these salt-free, and baked them in shape of little cups(using a mini muffin tray) so I could fill them up with all sorts of deliciousness. Turned out so well that this is going to be my go-to cracker recipe! Thank you so much.

    • Spicie Foodie says

      February 2, 2014 at 13:34

      That sounds like a great idea. Thanks Shuchi!
