Give a little twist to plain old crackers by adding chickpeas and Parmesan cheese to the dough. Serve them alongside your favorite dip for a simple but heartier appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas
1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
3/4 tsp. Coarse salt
3/4 tsp. ground pepper
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
5 tbsp. cold unsalted butter
1/2 c. grated Parmesan
1 large egg white
2 tbsp. white sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, with racks in middle and lower third. In a food processor, pulse chickpeas until coarsely chopped. Add coriander, salt, pepper, flour, and butter, and pulse to combine. With machine running, gradually add 3 tablespoons cold water until dough forms a ball. Add Parmesan and pulse to combine.
Divide dough and form into two 1-inch-thick disks. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds. With a knife, cut into 1-by-3-inch rectangles and place, 1/2 inch apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden brown and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let crackers cool on sheets. Looking for more quick and easy recipes? Try our collections of 30-minute meals, easy recipes, and simple, slow cooker suppers.
