Let’s Get Cooking!
Now, let’s make this delicious Sweet Potato Crackers recipe together. Put on your favorite playlist, and let’s dive right in!
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (that’s 350°F for my fellow Americans!).
2. Combine the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, add your sweet potato purée, flour, grated cheese, melted butter, and baking powder. Use a fork to gently mix everything together until the mixture starts to form a rough dough.
3. Knead the Dough
Once your mixture is somewhat combined, it’s time to use your hands to knead the dough right in the bowl! The goal is to form a cohesive ball. If it feels too sticky, don’t fret! Just sprinkle a little extra flour in there, tablespoon by tablespoon, until it’s nice and smooth.
4. Roll Out the Dough
Grab a sheet of parchment paper and place your dough on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 2-3 mm thick. Remember, the thinner the dough, the crispier your crackers will be, woohoo!
5. Cut into Shapes
Time for some fun! Use a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or cute cookie cutters to slice the dough into whatever shapes you desire, squares, rectangles, or even fun shapes for the kiddos! Use a fork to lightly prick each cracker. This helps prevent puffing while baking.
6. Transfer to Baking Sheet
Carefully slide the parchment paper (with the cut crackers) onto your baking sheet.
7. Bake the Crackers
Pop that baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are firm and just starting to turn golden. Flip each cracker over and let them bake for another 10-15 minutes until crisp and golden brown around the edges. Ahh, the smell, trust me, it’s going to waft through your whole house and make everyone hungry!
8. Cool and Serve
Once they are perfectly baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, they’re ready for snacking!
