Ingredients:
- 1 (12 oz.) box of crackers – Saltines or Ritz-style
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 3 tbsp crushed red chili flakes (adjust for heat preference)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spice Mix:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and chili flakes until well blended.
- Coat the Crackers:
- Place the crackers into a large gallon-size ziplock bag or an airtight container.
- Pour the spice mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Seal the bag or container and gently turn it over and over to coat all the crackers with the oil and spice mix.
- Continue turning every 5 minutes for about 20–30 minutes, until the crackers are fully coated and most of the oil has been absorbed.
- Let Them Rest:
- Leave the bag sealed and let the crackers sit for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!) to soak in the flavors.
- Serve and Store:
- Enjoy as a spicy snack or appetizer. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
