Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Texas Firecrackers

Step 1: Prepare the Seasoning Mix

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
    • Vegetable oil
    • Ranch dressing mix
    • Crushed red pepper flakes
    • Garlic powder
    • Onion powder
    • Smoked paprika
    • Cayenne pepper (optional, for those who enjoy extra heat).
  2. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Arrange the Crackers

  1. Place the saltine crackers in a large, sealable plastic bag or a wide, airtight container. Arrange them in neat layers to ensure even coating.

Step 3: Coat the Crackers

  1. Slowly pour the prepared seasoning mix over the crackers.
  2. Seal the bag or container tightly.
  3. Gently turn and shake the bag or container to coat each cracker evenly with the flavorful mixture. Continue this process for 5–10 minutes to ensure the seasoning thoroughly adheres to the crackers.

Step 4: Let the Flavors Marinate

  1. Leave the sealed bag or container at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the crackers to absorb the oil and seasonings, intensifying the flavor.
  2. During this time, shake or flip the bag/container occasionally to ensure even coating.
