- 1 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 dry ranch dressing mix
- cayenne or ground red pepper
- 1 lb Premium saltines
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, combine 1⅓ cups vegetable oil, 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix, and 1 to 2 tablespoons cayenne or ground red pepper (adjust to your desired spice level). Whisk until well blended.
-
Step 2.
Open all four sleeves of a 1-pound box of Premium saltines and empty the crackers into a 2-gallon ziplock bag. Pour the oil mixture over the crackers, seal the bag tightly, and gently toss and shake to coat all the crackers evenly.
-
Step 3.
Over the next 6 to 8 hours, periodically toss the bag (every hour or so) to redistribute the oil mixture. The crackers will absorb the oil and remain crunchy; they won't get soggy. Once fully absorbed, transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately.
