Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco or Frank's RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Lay the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are close together but not overlapping.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a smooth and spicy sauce.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly coat each cracker with the spicy butter mixture. Be generous to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy with your favorite dips or as a standalone snack!
