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!

These look GREAT! I would love to see grain-free tortillas and biscuits. Preferably higher in protein, but if not that’s ok too!

I’d still like to find a challah recipe that can be braided….
Thanks.

Elana,
These look great! I’d love to see maybe a sample of what you eat for each meal for a few days. What recipes and which foods do you rely on frequently? That would help me tremendously with food choices and learning to structure my week to make time for food prep.

Wow, Elana, I’d vowed never to make crackers, but that recipe might change my mind. They look absolutely incredible! :-)

Any suggestions for breakfast for kids who are currently gluten, dairy, egg, nut and if I want to go grain free?
veggievixen says
yum, i’ve never thought of that combination! sounds like that’d be a great flavor combo.

I have an addict’s cache of cookbooks, so I don’t personally need recipes for salads, veggies, etc. What I really appreciate most from your site are the gluten-free recipes for breads, crackers, desserts, etc., which are hard to find anywhere else.
These sound wonderful! Am anxious to try them.
