Ingredients
- 40 pieces Saltine crackers
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 packet Ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Place the saltine crackers in a large, sealable gallon-sized plastic bag or a large airtight container in a single layer if possible.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing seasoning mix, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the crackers in the bag or container.
Step 4
Seal the bag or container and gently turn or shake it to evenly coat all the crackers with the oil mixture. Be careful not to break the crackers.
Step 5
Let the crackers sit in the sealed bag or container for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best flavor). Flip or gently shake the container every hour or so to redistribute the seasoning.
Step 6
Once the crackers are well-seasoned and have absorbed the mixture, transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Step 7
Serve as a spicy snack or pair with dips, cheese, or charcuterie!
