Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 40 pieces saltine crackers
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the olive oil, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the butter mixture to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat the tops of the crackers with the butter mixture. Ensure each cracker is well covered for maximum flavor.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The crackers will crisp up further as they cool.
Transfer the cooled crackers to an airtight container for storage. Serve as a standalone snack or with your favorite dips.
