i adore the raisin-rosemary crisps at trader joe’s – they just don’t adore me back. (how i wish they made a gluten-free version – are you listening, trader joe’s?) in the mean-time, i decided to combine those sweet-and-savory-flavors myself in a grain-free cracker. i think these would be perfect on a thanksgiving cheese tray!
i’m being forthright here: these are very different from the super-crunchy, crisp, light trader joe’s crackers. but the flavor profiles are similar, with a deeper, nuttier quality. i’m happy with the result!
these are really good as a vehicle for bean-free pumpkin hummus, in case you’re interested in giving it a try!
