Carrot Cracker/Snacks

*Recipe Adapted from Weelicious.com

1 Cup All Purpose Flour
2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese, grated
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Carrot, finely shredded
2 Tbsp Oil

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine the first four ingredients and stir to combine.
3. Using your hands, add the carrots to the flour mixture coating the carrot pieces with flour.
4. Add the oil and work with your hands to bring the dough together.
5. Form the carrot parmesan dough into a flat rectangular disk and roll out 1/2 inch thick.
6. Using a knife, cut the dough into sticks, 2 inches long by 1/4 inch wide.
7. Bake on a Silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet for 15-17 minutes.
8. Cool and serve.


This recipe was alright. I mean, I made a half batch and to get the amount of shredded carrots barely took like 5 baby carrots- that's not much veggie in the snack. I am very lucky because Justin loves baby carrots plain, so these seemed like a lot of work. They tasted kind of like a cracker. I added garlic salt and also substituted 1/2 of the oil for water. They would make a great finger food :)
