Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 4 sleeves) Saltine crackers
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1.5 tablespoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
Place your saltine crackers in a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag or a large airtight container. Be careful not to break the crackers.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, ranch seasoning mix, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
Pour the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the saltine crackers.
Seal the bag or container tightly, ensuring it’s leak-proof, and turn it over several times to coat the crackers in the mixture.
Let the crackers sit in the sealed bag or container for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight), flipping and turning them every few hours to ensure even coating.
Once the crackers have absorbed the seasoning mixture and are fully coated, transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
