Ingredients
– 1 lb (approximately 454 grams) unsalted saltine crackers (about 4 sleeves)
– 1 cup (240 ml) oil
– 1 packet (1 ounce or 28 grams) ranch dressing mix
– 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1-First off, start by arranging the crackers standing on their ends like dominoes inside an airtight container it helps them soak up the flavors evenly without making a mess.
2-Next, in a small bowl, combine 1 cup oil, 1 packet ranch dressing mix, 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, stirring continuously to keep everything mixed well.
3-Then, spoon that seasoned oil mixture evenly over the crackers, just like drizzling icing on a cake for that full coverage.
4-After that, seal the container tightly and flip it every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes, giving it a light shake each time to make sure the coating is just right.
5-Finally, once theyβre done, store the coated crackers in a sealed bag; theyβll stay fresh for around one week if you donβt eat them all first. This method is straightforward and works great for working professionals who want a quick snack option.
