These Ranch Crackers are a flavorful and addictive snack featuring crunchy crackers coated in melted butter and a zesty ranch seasoning blend, baked to perfection for a crispy and savory treat. Perfect for parties, snacking, or an easy appetizer.

Ingredients

Crackers

  • 1 box Ritz Bitz cheese crackers (8.8 ounces) OR 9 ounces oyster crackers or mini saltine crackers

Seasoning

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (1 (1-ounce) packet)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for baking the crackers.
  2. Combine crackers and butter: Place the crackers in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the crackers, then gently stir them to evenly coat all the crackers with butter.
  3. Add seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning packet, garlic powder, and dried dill over the buttered crackers. Stir gently again to ensure all crackers are well coated with the flavorful seasoning blend.
  4. Arrange and bake: Spread the coated crackers in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring the crackers halfway through the baking time to promote even crisping and prevent burning.
  5. Cool and store: Once done baking, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. After cooling, store the ranch crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness and flavor for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use any small snack crackers you prefer such as Ritz Bitz, oyster crackers, or mini saltines.
  • For extra flavor, customize the seasoning by adding a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the crackers crispy for up to a week.
  • Make sure to stir the crackers halfway through baking to achieve even crispness and avoid burning.
  • These crackers are great for parties, snacking, or packed lunches.
