Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box of saltine crackers
- 1 package of ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon of dill weed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, entire contents of the ranch dressing mix packet, and dried dill weed until thoroughly combined and well-blended.
- Carefully arrange the saltine crackers in a single layer across the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly distribute the oil and seasoning mixture over each cracker, making sure to coat both sides completely. Take care to spread the mixture as uniformly as possible.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through to ensure even cooking and crisp texture.
- Remove from oven and allow crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, break or cut into desired serving sizes and store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tips
- Choose Your Crackers Wisely: While saltine crackers are traditional, feel free to experiment with other types like oyster crackers or even whole grain options for a unique twist.
- Don’t Rush the Coating: Make sure to take your time when brushing the oil and seasoning mixture onto the crackers. A thorough coating will ensure each bite is packed with flavor.
- Rotate for Even Crispiness: Remember to rotate your baking sheets halfway through the baking time. This simple step helps achieve that perfect crunch on every cracker.
- Cool Completely: Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets. This is crucial for them to reach their maximum crispiness.
- Store Properly: To keep your Dill Ranch Snack Crackers fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to a week—if they last that long!
