Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Making these crackers can be a multi-day process. You can make the jalapeño olive spread ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also form the cracker dough and freeze it for up to 3 months. This makes it easy to have homemade crackers on hand whenever you need them.
  • Roll Them Thin: The thinner you roll out the cracker dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Use a Sharp Knife or Pizza Cutter: When cutting the crackers, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to get clean, even edges. This will help the crackers bake evenly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The crackers are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.
  • Let Them Cool Completely: Once the crackers are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help them crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

These jalapeño olive crackers are a delicious and addictive snack that are perfect for any occasion. They're spicy, savory, and packed with flavor. Plus, they're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these jalapeño olive crackers a try.
