Rosemary Parmesan biscuits, made with almond flour, are savory crackers that combine the aromatic flavors of rosemary with the rich taste of Parmesan. The Parmesan adds a slightly chewy texture, while these biscuits still melt in your mouth.
You could use this biscuit mixture as a base and play around with the flavorings, but try this version first as it is yummy! I should add that these savory treats are known as biscuits in the UK but crackers in the USA.
These biscuits are crunchy yet tender, with a texture that strikes a balance between a cracker and a biscuit. Almond flour keeps them light, while the Parmesan adds depth and a slightly chewy bite. The chopped rosemary provides an aromatic, earthy note, while a touch of garlic powder adds a savory warmth to every bite. Perfect for gatherings or just an afternoon treat!

Why You Will Love This Recipe
Made with pantry staples like almond flour, Parmesan, and rosemary, this recipe is easy to whip up anytime.
The combination of Parmesan and rosemary creates a savory, aromatic treat with a touch of garlic for added warmth.
Whether you’re hosting, meal-prepping, or just looking for a quick snack, they pair well with everything from cheese to dips.
Ingredients
This is all you need to make these tasty low carb treats.
- Almond Flour: This gluten-free flour provides a light, slightly nutty base that keeps the biscuits low in carbs and gluten-free.
- Parmesan Cheese: Adds a rich, umami flavor and a slight chewiness to the biscuits.
- Rosemary: The earthy aroma of rosemary shines here, balancing beautifully with the Parmesan. Fresh rosemary gives the best flavor, but dried rosemary works too. If using dried, crush it slightly to release its oils and make the flavor more intense.
- Egg: Helps bind the ingredients and gives the biscuits structure.
- Salt: Enhances all the savory flavors and balances the cheese.
- Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps give the biscuits a tender texture.
- Garlic Powder: Provides a warm, savory note that complements the Parmesan and rosemary.
- Baking Powder: Gives a slight lift to the biscuits, making them less dense.
How to Make Rosemary Parmesan Biscuits
Also referred to as crackers, this is a quick and easy one bowl recipe.
Mix the ingredients into a dough.
Form the dough into 16 small balls.
Place on a baking tray and flatten.
Bake until firm.
Recipe Tips
- Use finely grated Parmesan for a smoother texture in the dough. This helps the biscuits bind better and gives a consistent flavor throughout.
- If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes before shaping. This makes it easier to handle and shape the biscuits.
- For a crispier texture, press the biscuits thin on the baking sheet. If you prefer a softer, thicker biscuit, shape them slightly thicker.
- If the biscuits lose crispness, simply pop them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5 minutes, and they’ll be as good as fresh!
Storage
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. This keeps them fresh and preserves their flavor.
Freezing
For extended storage, freeze the biscuits. Place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable bag with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Just thaw and re-crisp in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes before serving.

These are an excellent savory little treat. I made them to go with a pot pie stew, so yum!!!
This recipe will be a staple!!
Angela Coleby
So happy to hear this! Thank you!

A bit too salty and the cheese overpowered the rosemary. Will make again omitting salt (the cheese provides plenty), using less cheese and more rosemary. Always good to have a gluten free, grain free biscuit recipe!
Jane
So yummy! Will make these again
Angela Coleby
Delighted you enjoyed them! Thanks for the feedback!
Irene
Can I replace butter with olive oil/coconut oil? And for 2 tablespoons butter how much olive oil or coconut oil should I use?
Angela Coleby
You could replace the butter with oil and I would use 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil. Start with 2 and if the dough is too dry, add an additional tablespoon.

Just made these ready for valentines afternoon tea. They were so quick and easy.
I pressed down the mixture with my hand and used a heart shaped cutter to get small hearts. I’m very pleased with the result (and myself😉)
Just tasted one for quality control - delicious.
Angela Coleby
I love the heart shape cutter idea! Delighted that they passed quality control!
Elaine
Can they be frozen?
Angela Coleby
Yes they can.
Maria
As I also wrote on FB, these are truly addictive! I made them with pecorino (personal preference) and with dry rosemary (cos I didn't have fresh) and they turned out fantastic. One of the most delicious biscuits I have ever had! I had hard time pacing myself! Thanks for this heavenly recipe!
Angela Coleby
Thank you for a lovely review! You'd made my day and I'm delighted you like them as much as we do!
Rene Reed
Made several batches and loved them. My husband raved over them. I found it interesting, however, that the instructions mention adding baking powder, but baking powder is not listed in the ingredients. I opted for a teaspoon.
I am serving them tomorrow, so I will re-heat in a low oven.
Angela Coleby
Oops! I'll amend the recipe card. Thanks for letting me know. Glad you are enjoying them!
Kim
Delicious! Wonderful texture and flavor. This is a keeper.
Angela Coleby
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them!
Rachel
Biscuits in the oven! However, why is my rosemary still on the counter?
Patti
P.S.
You left out the Rosemary when adding the flour garlic parking powder and salt. No mention of adding the Rosemary .
Thanks
Angela Coleby
Will correct that, thanks!
Patti
It calls for baking powder but it isn't in the recipe also it says to mix eggs as in plural nut the recipe only calls for one egg. I'm in the process of making these and now I've been stopped in my tracks because of the baking powder. Please advise. I also think these will be awesome looking forward to trying them.
Namaste
Angela Coleby
Ignore the baking powder and it should just be one egg. If the mixture looks too dry add another egg. I use medium sized eggs so it can vary.
Sue
awesome! I loved these, goes great with a glass of red wine too 😉
Angela Coleby
Good choice!!?
Patti
Ok great.
Thanks for the speedy reply I'm making them now. So no baking powder and one egg.
Blessings

Hi, you mention spice in the method but there is no spice in the ingredients?
