Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cups vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 (1-ounce) packets of Ranch dressing mix
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (16-ounce) box Saltine crackers

Instructions

Instructions

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine oil, Ranch mix, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Shake it to mix well.
  2. Add saltine crackers to the bag, seal it, and gently turn or massage the bag to coat the crackers evenly.
  3. Allow the crackers to sit for several hours or overnight for the best flavor. If you are in a hurry, let them rest for 10-15 minutes, spoon the seasoning onto each cracker, and bake.
  4. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Arrange the seasoned crackers in a single layer on one or more baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even crisping.
  5. Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

If you’re short on time, let the crackers sit for 10-15 minutes before spreading them on a baking sheet. Use a spoon to scoop the seasoning from the bottom of the bag and apply it evenly to each cracker.
