Ingredients
Scale
For the Coating
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (can substitute 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 can be used, reduce quantity slightly)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (dried onion flakes are a suitable alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (omit for mild flavor; increase for more spice)
For the Crackers
- 1 cup Crackers (gluten-free crackers can be used for a gluten-free option)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for low-temperature baking which helps make the crackers crispy without burning.
- Prepare the coating: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes until well combined to create an even flavorful coating.
- Coat the crackers: Place the crackers in a large mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the seasoned oil mixture over them. Toss or shake gently to coat all crackers evenly without breaking them.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy all around.
- Bake the crackers: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, gently stir or flip them to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Finish baking: Continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden and crunchy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Cool and serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving as a delicious snack or party appetizer.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crackers.
- Adjust chili flakes and taco seasoning to control the spice level.
- Olive oil can be used instead of vegetable oil for a more robust flavor.
- Fresh minced garlic can replace garlic powder but use less to avoid overpowering.
- Store cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain crispness.
