Quinoa Parmesan Crackers

Gluten Free Quinoa Cracker Recipe

Quinoa Crackers are gluten free, savory little crackers – perfect for an afternoon snack, or as a feature biscuit on a platter when entertaining. They are very simple to make and only take a few minutes to cook. If you have unexpected guests show up at your house you could easily whip these up to serve while everyone gets in the door and settles in for a chat. Skip the supermarket and make these crackers from scratch. They could be made into any shape and could also be easily modified to include herbs of your preference.

Quinoa Parmesan Crackers are another recipe in a range that I have been working on in a bid to make more of our food from scratch. The list is slowly growing as I experiment with new ingredients. I originally made some Rosemary water crackers. This version moves to a gluten free base. The next challenge will be to make a version that is both gluten and dairy free – although I am a little besotted with the Parmesan flavor in these so that will not happen in a hurry.

At this time of year, while our vegetable garden is supplying a large amount of our food I can significantly reduce the number of trips I make to the shops. The main things we continue to source include bread, milk and fruit. I love being able to make other staples like yogurt, ice cream, lunch box treats, sauces and jams as time and ingredients permit. You can find more of my Make from Scratch Recipes listed here. Making food items such as these crackers allows me to truly take advantage of this time year and to feel a little self sufficient. It makes me feel a little smug, yes, but overall, satisfied that I can provide my family with high quality, nutritious fresh food with all included ingredients known and selected by me. Making food from scratch can be a time consuming practice. I understand that it is a (time based) luxury that some families can not pursue even if they would like to. These little savory biscuits prove that making things from scratch does not need to be a long and painful process. These crackers are quick and easy to make.

These Quinoa Crackers are best served and eaten on the day of being cooked.

perfect timing my mum gave me a container of quinoa flakes she wasn’t using and I had no idea what to make with them. thank you – these crackers look divinely morish.

I love that your making your own crackers! I’ve been meaning to, but I always have the same excuses.

Can you use cooked quinoa?

Hi Amanda, I have not tried them with cooked quinoa. I am sure that you could but you would need to make recipe adjustments and the texture would be quite different.
