    Easy Low-Carb Chilli Crackers(Gluten Free)

    What do you enjoy when you want a crunchy cracker but are living low-carb and wanting easy healthy family recipes? 

    These easy low-carb chilli crackers made with mozzarella dough of course!

    If you have been low-carb for a while, you will know how versatile mozzarella dough is. It is tasty, easy, low-carb, keto, grain-free, wheat-free and of course, gluten-free.

    How to make mozzarella dough

    Once you have mastered mozzarella dough (aka Fat Head dough), then you will be able to make a variety of recipes.

    Simply make the Fat Head dough in a bowl as per the recipe below, and roll out as thin as you require then bake.

    TOP TIP: To prevent the mozzarella dough from sticking, place the low-carb dough in between sheets of baking parchment (NOT baking paper) to roll out.

    How to bake low-carb chili crackers

    Once you roll out the mozzarella dough, use a pizza cutter to cut the low-carb dough into squares. You may wish to press a fork into each cracker to give it the appearance of your favourite store-bought crackers.

    Bake on one side until crispy, then using a wide spatula, flip the crackers over so they crisp on both sides.

    Further reading: Gluten-Free vs Grain-Free PLUS a free printable list of grains to avoid. Some might surprise you. Which is healthiest? Remember this – gluten-free junk is still junk!

    Many people choose to live gluten-free because they are whether intolerant to gluten, or they just feel better when gluten is removed from their daily diet. 

    Others have chosen to live gluten-free because of all the magazine articles that recommend living gluten-free for health benefits. Unfortunately, when many people decide to live gluten-free they begin to buy gluten-free products such as gluten-free bread, crackers, cakes, cookies etc in the false hope they are healthier - spoiler alert - they're not.

    Many people are unaware that many gluten-free products are ultra-processed, fortified, and high-carb. They are generally made with a gluten-free flour such as rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch.

    So what do you do? If you are living grain-free, you become gluten-free naturally by default.

    How to store crackers

    Because the low-carb chilli crackers are predominantly made of cheese, they need to be kept in the refrigerator unless they are being eaten straight away.

    You can also freeze the low-carb chilli crackers in an airtight container. Just remember to place a sheet of baking parchment in between each layer so they are easy to remove and defrost just as many as you need each time.

    Serving suggestions

    To enjoy these easy low-carb chilli crackers, why not serve with pate, pepperoni or even more cheese?

    They are also lovely to use with a dip such as pesto or salsa.

      re Low Carb Chilli Crackers. It is stated "1 serve (serves 6) @ total carbs 4 g". Question: is the 4 g carbs for the total cracker number, or 1/6th of the total number? (many here in Aus use 'carbs', not net carbs'.

        Hi Miriam, the recipe makes 6 servings, so the nutrition is for 1 serving = 1/6th of the recipe. Everyone tends to make their crackers smaller or larger than the next person so as long as you only have 1/6th, the nutrition panel is correct. I always state NET carbs as the majority of readers on my Facebook page and email community from around the world use NET carbs. I do have both values in every nutrition panel so you can select the one that works well for you.

        The recipe notes state "Mozzarella pastry can also be made by replacing the almond meal/flour with 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) coconut flour."

      The serving size is confusing. Is it 6 crackers per serving?
