    Make crispy, crunchy lavash crackers in under 10 minutes! You will love this quick and easy oil-free lavash cracker recipe.

    Baked lavash crackers in a bowl. I am holding one cracker in my hand.

    I'm always on the lookout for delicious oil-free crackers. But, after eating rice cakes and dry crackers, I had an epiphany. What if I took oil-free lavash bread and made my crackers? Lavash bread is one of my favorites to make sandwiches, wraps, and flatbread pizzas. So, after playing with a few ideas, I started experimenting with making lavash crackers. And, to my surprise, I created oil-free lavash cracker recipe in under 10 minutes!

    When I was little, my nickname was Cracker because I only ate Ritz crackers. My mom struggled to get me to eat anything but crackers. My love for Ritz crackers diminished as I aged, but my passion for crackers and anything savory remains with me. 

    What is Lavash Bread?

    Lavash is a large, thin, soft flatbread made with flour, water, yeast, and salt. Not only is lavash bread oil-free, but it is also egg and dairy-free. In addition, its soft texture and slightly rough surface make it perfect for various uses.

    What are Lavash Crackers? 

    Not only is it easy to transform lavash bread into lavash crackers, but the process also takes less than 10 minutes, including cooking time. Lavash crackers are crackers made from lavash bread.

    But what I love most about this simple recipe is the versatility of seasonings and flavors to make unique, tasty crackers for any occasion. 

    Another bonus is one piece of lavash bread makes 12 crackers. 

    Suggested Lavash Bread Brands (Oil-Free)

    One of my favorite lavash bread is from Trader Joe's brand, but several other types of lavash are available at various stores nationwide. 

    • Atoria's whole grain lavash (I used this one)
    • Kermanig Lavash 
    • Joseph's whole wheat lavash 
    • Wrap n Roll Nature's Way Lavash 
    • Ara-z Lavash
    • Organic whole-wheat Lavash
    • Trader Joe's Lavash

    Lavash Cracker Recipe

    First, you can choose an oil-free lavash bread. I used Atoria's whole grain lavash I found at Sprouts Market. 

    • Lavash Bread: I bought oil-free lavash bread at Trader Joes.
    • Aquafaba: Aquafaba is the liquid inside a can of chickpeas.
    • Choice of Seasonings: Any seasoning blend preferred.

    For this lavash cracker recipe, I chose Herbes De Provence, a combination of an aromatic mixture of dried Provençal herbs and spices, which traditionally include thyme, basil, rosemary, tarragon, marjoram, oregano, and bay leaf.  

    Other Suggested Seasoning Combinations:

    • Italian Seasoning Blend
    • Lemon Zest and Basil
    • Dill and Garlic Powder
    • Trader Joe's Citrus Blend
    • Za'atar Seasoning Blend
    • Trader Joe's Green Goddess Seasoning Blend
    • Everything Bagel Seasoning
    • Vegan Parmesan Cheese
    Cookie cutters on the counter. Four different sizes.

    Then, lay the lavash bread on a solid surface. Using a basting brush, brush aquafaba all over the surface of the lavash and season the bread with the chosen seasoning. 

    Lay the lavash on a flat surface, and using a cookie cutter, cut out the cracker shapes.

    Next, using a round biscuit or cookie cutter, cut 12 equal-sized crackers. Since I wanted large crackers, I chose a larger-sized circle.

    But, using tiny cutter yields more crackers and reduced cooking time. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    • Place the 12 lavash crackers on the baking sheet and cook for 5 minutes in a 400-degree oven. 
    Place the cut pieces on parchment paper on a baking sheet.

    Once baked, remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is lavash Armenian or Turkish?

    Lavash is a traditional thin, unleavened Armenian flatbread made in a tandoor oven. It is also popular in Turkey, Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries.

    Is lavash bread good for you?

    Lavash has no cholesterol and contains three healthy ingredients: Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat, which may help protect your heart while losing weight. Each serving of this Lavash (half of each large bread) contains 3 grams of fiber and just 4 net carbs!

    What is the difference between flatbread and lavash?

    What's the difference between lavash and flatbread? Flatbread is usually crispy, whereas lavash is softer and can easily be folded. Lavash is also thinner than flatbread and is usually shaped into a circle.

    TIPS

    • Brush aquafaba lightly over the top of the bread. This is so the seasoning sticks. Do not get the bread too wet.
    • Choose any unique seasoning blend to suit your preference or to pair with your dip or meal
    • Use a tiny cookie cutter to make oyster crackers for soups, chilies, and stews. This will cut the baking time in half or more. 
    • Use animal or holiday cookie cutters for unique party shapes for children or festive parties.
    • For a summertime flavor, skip the aquafaba and use lemon or lime juice to wet the bread for a citrusy cracker.
    • Use a spray bottle instead of a basting brush to dampen the lavash bread before adding the seasoning. 

    Make some lavash crackers if you're looking for a tasty and healthy cracker. Choose different seasoning blends to make different types of crackers.

      I love these (ahem, a little too much). Very clever, Kathy! I went the lazy person route and made diagonal cuts. I tried the Everything Bagel, the Herbs de Provence, Italian, and dill weed with dill seed. The seeds seem to hold their flavor best. Love how easy and quick they were to prep. I will definitely be making these for an appetizer tray with dips. Thank you for the recipe.

        Hi Lisa, I'm so glad you liked the crackers. It does make a ton, but they last a long time if you keep them in an airtight container or vacuum seal. And the funny thing is, I can't possibly eat all the crackers made from one piece of lavash; however, I can eat a whole lavash in a sandwich. Hahah.Thanks for the feedback. It was nice hearing from you.

      I made three different versions and they are all delicious. One with Everything Bagel seasoning, one with Herbs de Provence and vegan Parm and one with Well your World Stardust seasoning. It was great way to use some Trader Joe’s whole wheat lavash that had been in the freezer and were no longer soft and pliable. Thank you for the great recipe.

        Hi Claudia, I'm so glad you liked the recipe. All those flavors sound fabulous. And what a great way to use the lavash in the freezer. I am always leaving it in the freezer too long.

        Hi Janelle! Me too! But then I thought I could make different shapes, oyster crackers, and different seasonings.

      Made these BUT the lazy way. Just cut squares and didn’t even season them. Now I have dippers for my hummus and dips. Will do your cute version for my next vegan charcuterie board!!!

        Hi Laura, I like your "lazy" way. It was so fun experimenting with different seasonings. And I get to eat my crackers 🙂 Let me know what seasonings you experiment with and which ones you like.
