With just three ingredients and no mixing, kneading or rolling, these Ridiculously Easy Olive Oil Rosemary Crackers take 15 minutes from start to finish.

These olive oil rosemary crackers aren't an original idea. The inspiration came one day when I had googled "easy crackers". If you click on that link, you'll see lots of recipes. I'm not even sure what I was looking for, but while scrolling, I saw a few recipes for thin, crisp-looking crackers that were made from purchased wonton wrappers. I've used wonton wrappers for ravioli and potstickers - but crackers? That had me intrigued.

The next time I shopped for groceries, I made sure to purchase some wonton wrappers. I also threw some egg roll wrappers in my cart. They were right next to the wonton wrappers and are made of the same ingredients, just a bigger size. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do with them, but my curiosity was aroused.

The first time I made the crackers I kept it really simple. Just a light rub of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. They were great and Scott and I enjoyed them with a bowl of hummus.

I decided to add just one other ingredient the second time, a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh rosemary. We like them even better with the rosemary. You could also use thyme or finely chopped chives. To me, fresh herbs make just about everything taste better!

I love that these crackers are fairly low cal too. One egg roll wrapper is just under 60 calories. Each wrapper is cut into 6 portions for these crackers which brings the calorie count down to 10. The olive oil adds just a few extra calories as there are only 2 and a half teaspoons included for a whole panful of 24 crackers. That makes the total amount of calories per cracker 13. Not bad for a nice size cracker!

I like to serve these super thin, super crisp crackers with hummus for a healthy snack or appetizer. They'd also be wonderful with bean dips, guacamole, on a cheese tray, with a bowl of olives or served along with soups and salads. Make plenty, as these easy, olive oil rosemary crackers store well and I'm quite certain you'll find lots of other uses for them too!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you one of the best things about these Ridiculously Easy Olive Oil Rosemary Crackers. They only take 5-6 minutes to bake! That means, if you keep a package of egg roll wrappers stashed in your fridge, you can have a batch made in no time flat. If friends call and say they're headed over, you can have a batch made before the doorbell rings!

Café Tips for making these Ridiculously Easy Olive Oil Rosemary Crackers

Egg roll wrappers can be found at most larger grocery stores in the produce section. Sometimes they're tucked away in an obscure corner. If you can't find them, just ask one of the staff in the produce department and they can point you in the right direction.
The crackers will continue to bake and get a little more golden, once they're removed from the oven. Take them out when they're slightly lighter in color than what you'd like.
Set a timer when you're baking these Ridiculously Easy Olive Oil Rosemary Crackers. They can go from light golden to deep brown pretty quickly. I set my timer for 5 minutes, check them and add another minute if needed.
Feel free to vary the fresh herbs. Thyme would also be nice as would oregano, chives, thyme or dill. Or use a combination. Just make sure to chop them nice and fine.
No fresh herbs? Not a problem. Dry herbs will also work. A light sprinkle of Italian Seasoning or herbs de Provence is delicious.
If you're making more than one batch, you can use the same parchment paper over and over. If you don't have parchment, foil will also work.
I love these parchment paper sheets cut to the perfect size for half sheet pans (the normal cookie sheet size). They save lots of time and a box lasts forever! The sheets come in a nice, flat, cardboard container, so they're easy to store.
