Ingredients for Ranch Crackers

• 16 oz saltine crackers (4 sleeves)
  These crackers are the perfect base, sturdy enough to hold up to the flavorful seasoning while maintaining their crisp texture.
• 1 cup oil (olive, canola, or a combination)
  The oil helps the seasoning adhere evenly to the crackers and adds a subtle richness.
• 1 (1 oz) package ranch seasoning
  Delivers a tangy, herbaceous flavor that complements the chili lime seasoning beautifully.
• ½ teaspoon cayenne
  Adds a touch of heat for those who enjoy a little spice in their snacks.
• 1½ teaspoons garlic granules (not garlic salt)
  Enhances the savory notes without adding extra salt, making the flavors pop.
• 2 teaspoons chili lime seasoning
  The star of this recipe, it provides a bold combination of zesty lime and smoky chili, giving these crackers their unique flavor.

How to prepare the Ranch Crackers:

1. Prepare the Crackers: Open all 4 sleeves of saltines and place them in a shallow container with a seal-tight lid. Stand the crackers upright to help the seasoning distribute evenly.
2. Mix the Seasoning: In a large glass measuring cup with a pour spout, whisk together the oil, ranch seasoning, cayenne, garlic granules, and chili lime seasoning until fully combined.
3. Taste and Adjust: Dip a cracker into the seasoned oil mixture and taste. Adjust the flavor by adding more cayenne or garlic granules if desired.
4. Pour and Seal: Slowly pour the seasoned oil mixture over the crackers, making sure to coat them evenly. Seal the container tightly with the lid.
5. Marinate: Let the crackers sit for 5 minutes, then gently flip the container over. Repeat this process every few minutes for 30 minutes to ensure the crackers absorb the seasoning completely.
6. Serve: Once the crackers are fully seasoned, remove them from the container and enjoy immediately or store for later.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
