Vegan Cheese Crackers – a quick and easy recipe for a crisp and tasty cracker that is great for all kinds of appetizer boards, spreads, and dips!

Vegan Cheese Crackers

We always have at least one kind of cracker in the house, to go with the dips, cheeses, and spreads we snack on. While these are often our favorite store bought snacks, I sometimes make crackers from scratch. These Vegan Cheesy Crackers are the latest favorite, and they could not be easier to make.

This recipe is one of many greats from Robin Robertson’s latest book, VEGANIZE IT! 

Robin went vegan in the 80’s, and back then, if she wanted something meaty or cheesy or creamy, she says “I had to come up with a way to make it myself.” This book is definitely a reflection of that, filled with easy DIY pantry basics as well as tasty and approachable recipes.

The first recipe I made was the Baked Seitan Roast – I cannot ever pass it up, and Robin’s version is quite flavorful and really simple. The Htipiti (Feta Spread) recipe takes me back to a favorite restaurant from years ago. Just yesterday I made the Scratch Cake because, cake. The recipe has sour cream in it, and is delectable.

The recipes I have dog eared to try soon? Haute Dogs. I know, I am looking forward to those. The Seitan Oscar with Béarnaise Sauce is happening next – long ago, something “Oscared” was a favorite brunch item I shared with Dad.

These Vegan Cheesy Crackers will definitely be one I look to make often – they really could not be easier, and they are darn tasty. My first time making them, I rolled most of the dough to a perfect thinness, and one edge was thicker. Those thicker crackers were good too, but I prefer the thinner, crispy cracker. I’ll be sure to achieve that thin dough again next time…

Also! I made these crackers gluten free. I simply subbed gluten free all purpose flour in place of the regular, and the crackers came out crispy crunchy, as I gather the original recipe (shared here) does.

It’s easy to find crackers without animal ingredients, unless of course, your favorite crackers happen to be the cheesy ones. Now you can make them at home, complete with the delicious crunch and cheesy color and flavor you love but without the animal ingredients and additives.

Vegan Cheese Crackers

YIELD: 40 crackers

dairy, egg, and soy free, vegan

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup all-purpose flour 
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon vegan butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
5 to 6 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Mix well. Add the olive oil, butter, and lemon juice, mixing with a fork until the dough is fine and crumbly. Add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough becomes cohesive.

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper large enough to fit a large rimmed baking pan. (You can use a Silpat instead, if you have one.) Top the dough with another sheet of parchment paper and roll out the dough until thin, measuring about 11 x 13 inches. Transfer the parchment paper and rolled-out dough to a large rimmed baking sheet.

Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares. If desired, remove any uneven pieces of dough from around the edges and press together into a small disk and roll it out to get more crackers that are a uniform size. (Otherwise, you’ll have a few partial crackers from around the end to nibble on!)

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the crackers are baked but not browned. The color should be golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet. These crackers keep well for a week in a sealed container at room temperature.
