Ingredients:
- 4 sleeves (16 oz) Saltine Crackers
- 1 cup (235ml) Canola oil
- 1 packet (28g) Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Seasoning Mix
- 2.5 tbsp (12.5g) Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp (3g) Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp (1.5g) Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp (0.5g) Cayenne pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F. Note: Low heat is vital to toast the crackers without burning the delicate dried herbs in the ranch mix.
- Pour 1 cup Canola oil into a small whisking bowl.
- Add 1 packet (28g) Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Seasoning Mix to the oil.
- Stir in 2.5 tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes. Note: This creates a bold, spicy base that will coat all 4 sleeves.
- Whisk in 1 tsp Garlic powder, 0.5 tsp Onion powder, and 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper until the mixture is a slurry.
- Place 4 sleeves (16 oz) Saltine Crackers into a very large bowl or heavy duty plastic bag.
- Drizzle the spicy oil mixture over the crackers slowly.
- Gently toss or tumble the crackers until every surface is glistening and speckled with flakes.
- Spread the crackers onto a large baking sheet in a single, even layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes until the crackers look dry and smell intensely savory.
