Ingredients & Substitutions:
Flour - All-purpose flour/Plain flour works best for a crisp and light texture. You can replace half of the flour with whole wheat flour if you want a slightly nuttier flavor.
Sweet Potato Puree - Adds a lovely color and mild sweetness to the cracker's dough. You can use homemade sweet potato puree or store-bought puree.
Spices & Herbs - This recipe requires paprika, garlic powder and fresh rosemary. You can swap fresh rosemary with dried rosemary.
Olive Oil - I have used extra-virgin oil, it adds richness and makes them bake evenly. You can also use any neutral oil like sunflower oil.
Baking Powder - Do not skip this for the best texture.
Variations:
Mix a handful of grated Parmesan cheese or Cheddar cheese for a rich, cheesy flavor.
Add a little bit of red chili powder or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Replace rosemary with thyme, oregano or an Italian herb mix for a different savoury flavor. You can also use dried herbs.
If you want to make a sweeter version of the sweet potato crackers, skip the garlic, paprika and rosemary and add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg instead. You can also add some sugar to the dough if you want to increase the sweetness. This variation is wonderful with nut butters, cheeses and jams.
Add flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, baking powder, and rosemary to a mixing bowl.
Mix everything well. Add mashed sweet potato and olive oil.
Mix well until well combined.
Knead it into a soft dough and divide it into 4 dough balls.
Dust the counter surface with flour and place the dough ball.
Roll each dough ball into ⅛ inch thick circle.
Cut the rolled dough into squares or small shapes.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Arrange them on a lined baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes.
When they are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Tips & Notes:
- Use fresh and high quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure the puree is soft and smooth to prevent uneven crackers.
- If the dough feels sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until it is easy to roll.
- If the dough feels too dry or cracks while rolling, add a tiny splash of water to the dough and knead it again to bring back moisture. w
- Roll the dough thin for crisp crackers. The thinner the dough, the crunchier the crackers. Roll evenly for even baking.
- Cut the crackers evenly for even baking.
- Watch the bake time closely. Check them in the last few minutes so they don't overbrown.
- Let them cool down completely before storing.
- Adjust spices according to your taste.
Serving suggestions:
These sweet potato crackers are perfect for snacking on their own, but they can also be served with spreads and dips such as Mango Guacamole, Hummus, Cream Cheese or a Yogurt-based dip.
You can add them to a cheese board with sliced cheeses, olives and nuts for an easy appetizer.
These are great for lunch boxes, movie nights and gifting.
These are perfect for serving during the holidays, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving.
Storage suggestions:
Once the baked crackers are cooled, transfer them to an airtight container. They keep well at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for 2 months.
