Ingredients
Scale
For the Coating
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (can use olive oil for added flavor; adjust quantity based on cracker preference)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (adjust the amount for spiciness preference or use a homemade blend)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (fresh minced garlic is an alternative; reduce quantity slightly)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (dried onion flakes can be used for a similar taste)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (omit for mild flavor; increase for more spice)
For the Crackers
- 1 cup Crackers (use gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free option)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crackers evenly at a low temperature.
- Prepare Coating: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes until fully combined, creating a flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Crackers: Pour the crackers into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, then add the seasoning mixture. Toss or shake well to evenly coat all crackers with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to prevent sogginess and promote crispness.
- Bake and Stir: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, gently stir or flip the crackers to ensure even baking on all sides.
- Finish Baking: Continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the crackers turn golden brown and achieve a crisp texture. Remove from oven and let them cool before serving.
