Step by step instructions
This recipe is so simple, it’s a great one to have the kids help with!
- Toss the crackers with oil and melted butter.
- Add ranch seasoning mix and spices and stir to coat the crackers with the ranch seasoning.
- Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.
Seriously, isn’t your mouth just watering?? They bake up perfectly golden and crispy!
If I am serving the seasoned crackers immediately I like to sprinkle them with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a little chopped fresh parsley for an extra special touch.
If packaging them up to gift, simply allow them to cool completely before packing in an airtight container.
Tips and variations
- if you don’t have ranch seasoning on hand you can make homemade ranch seasoning to substitute
- Spice it up: add in ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Sweet version: omit olive oil and add ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon instead of the ranch and spices
- Mexican style: use taco seasoning in place of ranch seasoning and omit the dill
- Unbaked: some recipes don’t bake the crackers but I recommend not skipping the baking, it really crisps up the crackers and all that flavor!
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days
