Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz. package of saltine splitters
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 Tbsp (about 2 packages) ranch dressing mix
- 3 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 2 cups olive oil
Instructions
- Mix marinade: Pour the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ranch dressing mix, and red pepper flakes into a large zip-top bag. Seal and knead the bag well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add splitters: Place all four sleeves of splitters into the bag. Reseal and gently turn the bag over several times to ensure the splitters are evenly coated with the marinade. The more you turn, the better the coating.
- Rest: Allow the bag to sit overnight. This resting period lets the flavors meld together, enhancing the depth and richness of the snack’s taste.
- Bake splitters: Spread the splitters out on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F for about 15 minutes. No-Bake Option: The splitters can also be enjoyed without baking. This option is perfect for those who prefer a less crispy texture or are short on time.
