Firecrackers Recipe
This Firecrackers Recipe is SO EASY! Crunchy, flavorful oyster crackers coated in a zesty seasoning mix perfect for snacks and parties.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Whisk
- Oven
Ingredients
- 18 ounces oyster crackers
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 ounce Ranch seasoning mix (try our homemade ranch seasoning recipe!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature allows the crackers to gradually absorb the flavors without burning.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canola oil, Ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Add the 18 ounces of oyster crackers to the seasoned oil mixture. Gently stir until all the crackers are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated oyster crackers in an even layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. This will help ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Once the crackers are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Notes
- For a different flavor, try substituting canola oil with olive or sunflower oil.
- Store crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
- If crackers lose their crunch, reheat in the oven at 250°F for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
