Ingredients
  

Cracker Base
  • 1 package package of crackers (your choice: saltines, Ritz, or any preferred) Use any type of cracker you enjoy.
Seasoning Mixture
  • 1 cup vegetable oil Can substitute with a plant-based oil for a vegan option.
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder Feel free to substitute with your favorite seasoning mix.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper Increase for spicier crackers.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully blended.
  3. Add the crackers to the bowl filled with the oil and seasoning mixture. Gently toss the crackers to evenly coat them with the mixture. A zip-lock bag can also be handy if you prefer to shake them for even coverage.
Baking
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated crackers evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remember to stir or flip the crackers halfway through for even baking.
  2. Once baked, remove the Firecrackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving bowl.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your savory Firecrackers fresh out of the oven or save them for later!

Notes

To keep your Firecrackers fresh and tasty, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They can last up to a week at room temperature. If you plan to store them longer, freeze them to extend shelf life. To enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
