With just a few ingredients, these crackers deliver a satisfying, spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) box saltine crackers (about 4 sleeves)

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)

  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (about 1 oz)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips
