1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 (1 oz) packages ranch dressing mix
3 tablespoons crushed red pepper
1 (16 oz) package of saltine crackers
Instructions
- In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, combine olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, ranch dressing mix, and crushed red pepper flakes. Seal and shake the bag to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add saltine crackers to the bag, seal, and gently turn to coat the crackers evenly with the spice mixture.
- Let the crackers marinate in the bag overnight to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Arrange the crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool before serving.

Store in an airtight container to keep the crackers crispy for up to two weeks.
