Description
Savory, crispy saltine crackers seasoned with dill pickle juice, ranch mix and dill for an addictive snack.
Ingredients
- 1 (11 oz) box mini Saltine crackers
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
- 1–1½ tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix
- 1–2 tablespoons dried dill
- ½–1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 °F (≈ 120 °C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, ranch seasoning, dill pickle juice, dried dill and garlic powder.
- Place the Saltine crackers in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the butter‑seasoning mixture over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly, taking care not to break them.
- Spread coated crackers in a single layer on a parchment‑lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for ~30 minutes, stirring gently every 10 minutes to ensure even crisping.
- Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use mini saltines if you can; regular size works too.
- Unsalted butter is preferred as ranch mix is already salty.
- Olive oil can be used in place of butter for a lighter version.
- Store in airtight container for up to 5 days to retain crunch.
- For heat, try spicy ranch mix or a pinch of cayenne.
