Spicy Ranch Mini Saltines

Ingredients

• 1 box (11 oz) mini saltine crackers
• 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1 tsp onion powder (optional)
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Prep:
   Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Seasoning:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

3. Combine Crackers:
   Place mini saltine crackers in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the crackers, tossing gently to coat them evenly.

4. Add Seasoning:
   Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the buttered crackers, stirring gently to ensure each cracker is well coated.

5. Bake:
   Spread the seasoned crackers in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the crackers are lightly toasted and the seasoning is set.

6. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Transfer to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
