Spicy Ranch Saltinesare such an addictive snack! Saltines crackers coated in buttery spicy ranch sauce and baked until crispy.
If you love little crackers like this, try my Dill Pickle Saltines!
And if you are in the mood for even more ranch, these Parmesan Ranch Oyster Crackers should probably also be added to your plans this week!
You guys, these are my new favorite thing!
I don't evenlike ranch that much but I'm obsessed with these crackers. Like grabbing handfuls every time I walk through the kitchen.
Some people know them as Fire Crackers but we just call them Spicy Ranch Saltines in my house.
They are the tiny Saltine crackers coated in a buttery spicy ranch mixture and then they get baked until the crackers are extra crispy. I'm telling you, you won't be able to stop! They'd also be great for a party or a fun addition to a cheese board.
Ingredients
- Mini Saltines – if you can't find the mini ones, you can use 3 sleeves of the regular size Saltines
- Unsalted butter – make sure it's unsalted or the crackers will turn out too salty
- Ranch dressing mix
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250F
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place mini Saltines in a large mixing bowl
- Melt butter and stir in ranch dressing mix, crushed red pepper flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder
- Pour butter mixture over Saltines and gently toss to coat
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring after every 5 minutes
- Cool completely before serving and storing
How Long Are Spicy Saltines Good For?
These will stay crispy for up to 5 days if you store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
I like to store them in this glass jar because it's airtight and looks super cute on the counter filled with snacks. A plastic storage container or a ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out also works!
Can You Freeze Them?
I don't recommend freezing them. I think you would lose most of the crunch if you tried freezing them.
Variations
- You can, of course, use regular size Saltines – I haven't tested it but I'm guessing you would use about 3 sleeves of the regular size crackers
- If you like extra spicy Saltines, use the spicy ranch dressing mix instead of the regular
- You can substitute oyster crackers, Goldfish crackers, Cheez-Its, whatever crackers you like
How To Serve Fire Crackers?
My kiddos and I like to have these by themselves just by the handful. But you could serve them with thinly sliced cheddar cheese if you're looking for something a little heartier.
You could also put them on a charcuterie board for a party!
