For the Marinade

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Ziploc bag, combine vegetable oil, ranch seasoning, red pepper flakes, onion flakes, and garlic powder. Seal the bag tightly and knead for about 1 minute until well-mixed.
  2. Open the bag and add saltine crackers into the seasoning mix. Reseal the bag, gently turn it over for about 2–3 minutes until the crackers are evenly coated.
  3. Leave the bag sealed and marinate at room temperature overnight.
  4. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
  5. Spread the marinated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until golden brown and aromatic.
  6. Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
