Ranch Seasoned Party Crackers (like a baked Alabama Firecracker)

ranch seasoning mix

🥗Healthier: homemade ranch seasoning

💰Cheaper: Italian seasoning

Homemade seasoning can reduce sodium and preservatives.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive.

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).

In a large plastic bag or very large bowl, combine the crackers.

Combine the oil and all the seasonings (ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red chili flakes, Italian seasoning, and optional additional seasoning). Whisk or stir the oil and seasonings until well combined.

Pour evenly over the crackers in the bag/bowl. Don’t just dump the oil seasoning in one spot over the crackers.

If using a bag, seal the bag but make sure to leave a bunch of air in the bag so the crackers have room to move around. Gently turn and tumble the crackers so the seasoning can distribute throughout.

Spread the crackers evenly over a baking sheet pan.

Bake the crackers at 250°F (120°C) for about 15 minutes. Gently toss or turn the crackers.

Continue to bake at 250°F (120°C) for another 5-10 minutes or until golden. Allow the crackers to slightly cool before eating.
