Cheez It Firecracker Crackers
These Cheez It firecracker crackers are spicy, salty, and dangerously addictive. Ranch seasoning and red pepper flakes soak into every cracker, and a quick time in the oven locks in a deep, toasted crunch you can't get any other way.
Ingredients
- 12.4 oz box Original Cheez-Its
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 packet 1 oz dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 –3 tsp red pepper flakes to heat preference
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.
- Place the Cheez-Its in a large zip-top bag or big mixing bowl. Pour the oil mixture over the crackers.
- Toss well to coat every cracker, turning the bag or folding the bowl contents several times until evenly coated.
- Spread the crackers in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake at 250°F for 18–22 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet — they crisp up as they cool.
- Transfer to an airtight container and serve.
