I recently visited my friend Nicoletta, to get some sun, since she lives in a house with a big garden full of olive trees! She recently gave birth to a cute little boy, Alkis, so I went to see how they are doing. As soon as I got there, I found Nicoletta whisking something in a bowl, so I asked “what are you making?”, and the answer was “oh, it’s really nothing, just some olive crackers, I hope you’ll like them”… I ate the whole dish! So, I liked them after all, hahaha!
These crackers, are extrelemy easy to make and are a good idea for a quick savory snack, or a party treat. They go well with cheeses of any kind (dairy or vegan). The only trick is, to preserve them crispy you need to add a little oil, and that’s about all I changed in Nicoletta’s original recipe. I prefer coconut oil, since it’s lighter, but you can also use olive oil (same grs). Then you can store them in an airtight container for many days.
They are very nutrient dense, and they also contain Linseed which it’s so full of the miraculous omega three fatty acids we all need. They are also vegan, so anyone can have them!

After the 10 mins have gone by, the dough should be harder. Add a bit more water if needed, you need to make it so that you can spread it on a piece of parchment paper or directly your non sticky baking dish. Use a fork to cut the pieces as small or as big you prefer. If your dough is looser, you can also use a tablespoon to take portions and just place them on your parchment paper and skip spreading and cutting the dough. |

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 1-1,5 hour, flipping them halfway through. Make sure they are completely dry so you can preserve them longer. Cool them on a rack, keep in mind they will harden as they cool. |
Extra Tips
- Το λάδι μπορείτε να το παραλείψετε, αν όμως δεν τα φάτε την ώρα που τα βγάλετε από το φούρνο και μείνουν, ακόμα και σε αεροστεγές τάπερ θα μαλακώσουν λόγω υγρασίας της ελιάς.
