Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Saltine Crackers
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 packet (about 1 oz) Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch seasoning mix, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. This is your flavor bath.
- Add the saltine crackers to the bowl. Gently toss them until every cracker is coated with the oil and spice mixture. Take your time here; you want full coverage.
- Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on one or two large baking sheets. Do not overlap them.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the sheets from the oven and gently stir the crackers.
- Return the crackers to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Store your finished fire crackers in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on how much heat you enjoy.
- If you prefer a less intense flavor, use half the amount of ranch seasoning mix.
- For different flavor profiles, try adding a dash of dried dill or celery salt to the spice mix.
