Ingredients
Scale
- 1 16 oz box of saltine crackers
- 1 1/2 cups canola oil
- 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
- 2 Tbsp crushed red pepper
- 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp cajun seasoning
Instructions
- In a large baking or tupperware dish (with a lid), arrange the saltine crackers standing in rows.
- Add the oil, Ranch mix, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper and cajun seasoning to a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Slowly pour the mixture over the saltine crackers until evenly covered.
- To coat the crackers, flip the container over and let it sit upside down for 5 minutes. Repeat this step at least 2-3 times or until fully coated.
Notes
- I much prefer having the crackers standing up in rows in a dish so I can make sure the seasoning mix gets on all the crackers. But you could certainly place all the crackers in a Ziploc bag and toss them around the same way.
- You can add more or less of the seasonings to change the spice level if you want milder crackers or a more spicy kick!
- They are perfect with soups, your favorite dips or just as a casual snack! Ilove to eat pimento cheese with them – talk about a treat for your taste buds! You could also add them to a charcuterie board.
