Easy Alabama Firecracker Crackers
These zesty, flavor-packed Alabama Firecrackers are the ultimate snack for parties, road trips, or any time you crave something with a bold kick. Saltine crackers are infused with a spicy, ranch-seasoned oil blend that transforms them into an irresistible crunchy treat. Best of all, there’s no baking involved—just shake, soak, and enjoy.
Ingredients
1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch dressing mix
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.
2️⃣ Place the saltine crackers in a large resealable plastic bag or a flat, airtight container. Pour the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the crackers. Seal and gently turn or shake to coat the crackers thoroughly.
3️⃣ Let the coated crackers sit at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight. Occasionally turn the bag or shake the container to help distribute the seasoning evenly.
4️⃣ Once the crackers have fully absorbed the flavor-packed oil mixture, they are ready to serve. Enjoy them on their own or paired with ranch dip, cheese spreads, or guacamole.
Notes
Store the firecrackers in an airtight container for up to one week. They get more flavorful over time, making them a great make-ahead option. For less heat, reduce the red pepper flakes to 1–2 teaspoons.
