Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz buttery round crackers (e.g., Ritz)
- 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, dried dill, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a large mixing bowl, add the vegetable oil. Gradually sprinkle in the seasoning mix while whisking or stirring to create a smooth, seasoned oil mixture.
Add the crackers to the large bowl with the seasoning mixture. Gently toss the crackers until they are evenly coated, being careful not to break them.
Spread the coated crackers in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Try to avoid overcrowding so that the crackers bake evenly.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, stirring gently halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The crackers will crisp up further as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Ranch Crackers to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept fresh at room temperature for up to one week.
Serve as a snack, party appetizer, or pair with dips or cheese boards for added flavor!
