Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 box (12 oz) Saltine or Ritz-style crackers
  • 3/4 cup Olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning Feel free to experiment with different seasonings.
  • 3 tablespoons Chili flakes Adjust according to your heat preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the crackers into a large, gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
  2. Pour the olive oil over the crackers. Seal the bag tightly and gently tumble and toss the crackers until all are evenly coated.
  3. Add the Italian seasoning and chili flakes into the bag. Reseal the bag securely and shake well to distribute the spices thoroughly.
  4. Leave the sealed bag out at room temperature overnight, turning it occasionally to ensure even flavor penetration.
  5. The next day, your firecrackers are ready to be devoured! Enjoy them solo or alongside your favorite beverage.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or a dash of garlic powder when mixing your spices. If you like a lesser or greater spice level, feel free to adjust the chili flakes—start with less if you’re unsure!
