Ingredients
Scale
Crackers:
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers
Oils and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Whisk together oil, ranch seasoning, dill weed, garlic powder, cayenne, and onion powder in a mixing vessel to create a vibrant, herb-infused coating.
- Transfer saltine crackers into a large resealable plastic bag, ensuring ample space for even distribution.
- Drizzle the prepared oil mixture directly over the crackers, aiming for comprehensive coverage.
- Securely seal the bag, then gently manipulate and rotate to ensure each cracker receives a thorough, uniform coating.
- Allow the crackers to marinate at room temperature for 4-6 hours, periodically rotating the bag every half-hour to guarantee consistent flavor absorption.
- After marinating, spread crackers on a flat surface to air dry for 15-20 minutes, enabling the seasoning to set and create a crisp, zesty texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness and flavor intensity, consuming within 3-5 days for optimal taste experience.
Notes
- Use room temperature crackers to ensure even coating and prevent breakage during mixing.
- Experiment with different ranch dressing mix brands for unique flavor profiles and intensity.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent sogginess.
- Adjust cayenne pepper quantity based on personal spice tolerance for a milder or spicier snack.
