Gluten Free Pistachio Crisps Recipe

Gluten Free Pistachio Crisps Recipe

Sweet, salty, crispy, crunchy – to me these simple words combine to conjure up the perfect snack.

This  gluten free pistachio crisps recipe is what I call a “high/low” – low on effort, high on payoff! It is essentially gluten free pizza dough, rolled thinly and topped with a salty, sweet mixture of healthy pistachios, brown sugar and kosher salt. It bakes up crispy like a flat bread or cracker and has these little pockets that puff up for a dash of drama. Serve these as an elegant starter with cocktails at your next soiree and you will actually feel like a person who uses words like “soiree!”

Ingredients

  • cups good quality All Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend
  • teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher or fine sea salt - use divided
  • ½ teaspoon agave nectar - sugar or honey
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - use divided
  • 2/3 cup hot tap water - (around 110 degrees is perfect)
  • ½ cup roasted and salted pistachios
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, xanthan gum, yeast, gelatin, ½ teaspoon salt, agave (or sugar or honey), 2 tablespoons olive oil, and hot water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with regular beaters or a whisk attachment (not dough hook or paddle attachment). Mix on low until combined. Scrape down bowl once. Turn mixer to high and mix for 3 minutes. The dough may clunk around in the mixer at first then soften up, this is fine. The dough will be soft and sticky.
  • Dust a work surface, generously with more All Purpose Gluten-free Flour Blend or white rice flour and knead the dough a few times until it is smooth and no longer sticky. Divide dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion of the dough out very thin to fit the baking sheet. Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil on each piece of dough, going all the way to the edges.
  • Finely chop the pistachios and combine with the remaining teaspoon of salt and brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Bake for 13 – 15 minutes or until crispy and browned. Break into pieces

    These look so great! And the funny thing is, the ingredient that would trip me up isn’t the gelatin–it’s the yeast!! I think I have to figure out a way to create an ACD-friendly version of these, they look so yummy. :)

    I was wondering if you have a salty version maybe with cheese recipe for these?

      Off the top of my head I would suggest leaving out the brown sugar and grating some parmesan on top and maybe a little sea salt – it would be delish!
