These crispy cheesy zucchini crackers are a quick, nut-free baked snack that combines the fresh flavor of zucchini with sharp cheddar cheese for a satisfying crunch. Perfect for allergy-friendly snacking and easy to whip up anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil spray for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and lightly spray with olive oil.
  2. Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Add the squeezed zucchini and the egg to the dry mixture. Mix everything until evenly incorporated; the batter will be thick but slightly sticky.
  5. Scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each mound with the back of a spoon or your fingers until about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Space them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers feel firm to the touch. Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even crisping.
  7. Cool completely on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to crisp further.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy crackers. Use sharp cheddar for best flavor. Do not overcrowd baking sheet to ensure crispiness. Let crackers cool completely before handling to prevent breakage. For extra crispness, reheat crackers for 3-5 minutes if they feel soft after cooling.
