Ingredients

  • 16 oz. saltine crackers one pound box with 4 sleeves in box. We used Zesta.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoon Ranch Dressing Mix 2 packages
  • 3 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Unwrap two sleeves of crackers and put them in one Ziplock bag and the other two unwrapped sleeves in the second bag.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the olive oil and all of the seasonings. Whisk to combine all of the ingredients. We use a large measuring cup with a spout.
  • Pour half of the mixture in one bag and half in the second bag.
  • Seal the bags and gently turn each bag over several time to coat the crackers with the spice mixture.
  • Let the bag sit overnight on your counter. All of the oil should absorb by morning.
  • Remove the crackers and lay them out on the rack that's in the baking sheet.
  • Bake at 250℉ for about 15-20 minutes.
  • If you're short on time you can skip the baking but the crackers taste 1000% better baked.

Notes

Store the crackers in an air-tight container. They will stay crispy and delicious for several weeks - that is if your family can stay away from them.
