Even for gluten free crackers, there’s a lot of cracker options at the store these days. But something I haven’t seen is za’atar crackers.
Sometimes you want a crispy crunch with a bold kick of flavor. Not just the simple salted crackers. Our take on za’atar crackers fits that need perfectly.
Just remember you have to make them as thin as you can on the baking sheet. These need to dry out to become crispy (but not burn)!
If some crackers bake faster than others, take them off the baking sheet early! No harm in that. Try to get the most perfect crunch consistency that you can.
Now pull up some hummus and start dipping!
Keep your za’atar on your crackers, not the floor,

Za’atar Chickpea Crackers
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 cups chickpea flour
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ⅔ cup warm water
Topping
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 tbsp za’atar
- 1 tbsp sumac
- Maldon sea salt for topping or kosher salt
Hummus for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, sea salt, and avocado oil. Slowly add the warm water until a dough forms.
-
Spread out the dough and roll into a large rectangle, about ⅛ inch or thinner. It will be very sticky, use plastic wrap or dust with more chickpea flour as needed.
-
Using a pizza cutter or butter knife, segment the large rectangle into small, cracker-sized rectangles
-
For the topping, lightly brush the top with the dough with the avocado oil. Sprinkle the za’atar, sumac, and maldon sea salt on top. Gently pat the spices down into the dough.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven. After about 25 minutes, watch carefully, and adjust times as needed. Thinner crackers will bake faster, so remove crackers if they cook too quickly,
-
Allow crackers to cool completely. Serve with hummus or enjoy them on their own!
