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 would love more breakfast ideas. It’s the meal I find the most challenging. There just aren’t any good tasting full of fiber & protein gluten free cereals out there. Unless someone else knows of one?

Hey there… I would love to know what you put in your “blender salad” to make it really yummy!! Also, do you use a Vita Mix or a blender?? Thanks, I love your website and have referred many people to it!!

love the blog. my 2 year old and i are gluten/casein free. despite our seemingly super healthy diet, she gets constipated at times. recipes with lots of fiber are great for us..keeps things moving.

Hi Elena! My 6 yr old son has been on a GF/CF, egg, citrus, soy, peanut free and low sugar diet for about 8 months now due to him being on the autism spectrum. He is doing great but I would love to see more recipes that he would enjoy. I love reading your blog and have attempted some of your recipes. It’s just hard convincing a 6 year old that kale is good for you and taste good too. Maybe in a few years his taste buds will mature. Thanks for all your hard work and effort so moms like me don’t have to!

Wonderful recipe–can’t wait to try it! Figs are super nutritious and I’ve been looking for more ways to incorporate them into my diet.
I would request you continue posting almond flour recipes. I know coconut flour is super hot right now (b/c of price) but my ND says its a no-no, so I rely very much on your almond concoctions. If there’s some sort of “cheat sheet” for baking with almond flour that would be helpful too.

Since you’ve been asking for suggestions, I’d like to see more raw food recipes (I especially enjoy them in the Summer, so refreshing) and more fruit based and/or fruit sweetened recipes as well ;).
barbara says

OOhhh, I thought you’de never ask…I’m another one interested in things for little lunch boxes since my son is also grain free and sugar free. Stuff for my lunch box would be nice too! Also, my goal this year is to learn to eat more greens, which means finding ways to prepare them my family will actually like, what about Kale’s kinfolk? And the other herd of greens out there!

The crackers look soo good! I would love to see more recipes that involve cooking kale. I am not very familiar with kale, but because of its so many benefits I need to be eating it! I have a very sensitive tummy and digestion so recipes involving softly cooked kale would be wonderful. I would also love to see more herbed recipes.. like herbed crackers, herb dressings, herbed meats. All these flavors are in season now! Where do you buy your dried figs?
