With only 6 ingredients, Rosemary Fig Crackers are super easy to make. All you need is almond flour, figs, rosemary, egg, olive oil, and salt. We serve this homemade sweet and savory cracker recipe plain or topped with goat cheese. My husband loves having these as a healthy paleo snack.
This easy cracker recipe is also great to serve at parties. We often host cocktail parties for non-profits as well as political fundraisers to discuss clean and fair food for all.
I very much enjoy the challenge of creating an entirely gluten-free menu for these types of gatherings. Usually only a handful of people who attend are gluten-free, but they are so grateful that they can eat everything we provide! Such guests are further stunned when they find out that I’m serving paleo bread and crackers as vehicles for our healthy hors d’oeuvres. No one else who attends can tell the difference. Mostly folks are just blown away that everything is homemade for a party of 50-100 people in my home. Check out this photo on Instagram for a quick look at one of our events.

The idea for this Rosemary Fig Crackers recipe came from an article in our local paper, The Daily Camera. The crackers they featured were made with wheat flour. Since they looked so good, I decided to create my own paleo cracker recipe using that flavor profile. I think these have turned out very well!
Here are some of the other healthy paleo appetizer recipes I serve at our cocktail parties and fundraisers!

I’ve made these for years and are still a favorite, but recently found I was sensitive to almonds. Is there another nut flour that’s comparable?
Thanks.

Connie, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Carol Nathan says
This was one of my favorite recipes way back! I used sun-dried tomatoes in this recipe instead of figs and it was wowza! For all of your efforts and for sharing your recipes!
Elana says
Carol, thanks for letting me know these crackers are wowza!
Laurie says
I didn’t realize and I bought fresh figs, not dried. Will this work?
Elana says
Laurie, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)

Hi….recently turned to a Paleo diet.
Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.
One problem is I’m finding it hard to
get an Almond flour here in Canada.
Only Almond meal…and Honeywell the one you reccommend doesn’t ship up here. Do you have any suggestions?I’ve tried almond meal in some recipes and it doesn’t seem to turn out well Thx :)
Elana says
Dan, thanks for your awesome comment! If you go to my Almond Flour page there is a company that ships to Cananda:
