This recipe takes Saltine crackers and seasons them with ranch, red pepper flakes, and garlic. A delicious, easy-to-make snack!
I found this recipe while perusing Pinterest and thought to myself, “What an easy little snack”.
Saltines by themselves don’t really do much for me, but add some flavor to them and I’m on board.
These can be addictive though so be careful!
If I were to make these again, I think I’d try using oyster crackers. They’re more bite-sized and easier to pop in your mouth. Although I guess that could be dangerous as well…..either way…delicious!
Fire Cracker Ingredients:
- Unsalted Saltine Crackers
- Ranch Dressing Mix
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Garlic Powder
- Canola Oil
How To Make Fire Crackers:
Mix the oil and seasonings together in a small bowl.
You need to place the saltine crackers in some kind of sealable container. I like to use these containers, but Ziploc bags also work well.
After the crackers are in your container, cover with oil and seasoning mixture. Turn the bag or container over every 5 minutes for 30 minutes to ensure the crackers are evenly coated.
That’s it! Your fire crackers are ready to eat.
