Gluten-Free Crackers
Crunchy, Flavorful, and Perfect for Any Occasion
What are Gluten-Free Crackers?
Gluten-free crackers are crispy snacks made without wheat, barley, or rye, using alternative grains and starches to create satisfying textures for those avoiding gluten.
These crackers range from simple rice-based varieties to gourmet options featuring seeds, legumes, and unique flavor combinations that often surpass traditional crackers in taste and nutrition.
Advances in gluten-free baking have led to crackers with excellent snap and structure, perfect for cheese boards, soups, or standalone snacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do gluten-free crackers sometimes taste bland?
Some rice-based crackers can be neutral in flavor. Look for seasoned varieties or those made with nutrient-dense ingredients like seeds, nuts, and ancient grains for more robust flavor profiles.
How can I keep gluten-free crackers crisp?
Store in airtight containers with silica gel packets. If they soften, refresh in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes. Avoid humid environments and consider freezing long-term storage.
Are gluten-free crackers a healthy snack?
Many are healthier than traditional crackers, often featuring whole grains, seeds, and legumes. Look for low-sodium options with minimal added sugars. Some provide good fiber and protein content.
Can I make gluten-free crackers at home?
Yes! Simple recipes use gluten-free flour blends, olive oil, and seasonings. Use a rolling pin to get thin, even dough, and prick with a fork before baking to prevent bubbling.
