Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (adjust for spiciness)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or fresh minced garlic, reduced amount)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (or dried onion flakes)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (omit or increase for desired heat)
Base
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (olive oil can be used for added flavor; quantity adjustable based on cracker preference)
- 1 cup Crackers (gluten-free crackers can be substituted for gluten-free option)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow baking the crackers.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes until well combined.
- Coat Crackers: Place crackers into a large mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag, then pour the seasoning oil mixture over them and gently toss or shake to ensure each cracker is evenly coated.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are evenly spaced for uniform baking.
- First Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Stir or Flip: After 10 minutes, carefully stir or flip the crackers to ensure they bake evenly on all sides.
- Continue Baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, watching closely until the crackers turn golden and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet to set their crispiness before serving.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to personal heat preferences, omitting chili flakes for mild flavor.
- Use gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free snack.
- Olive oil can replace vegetable oil to add a richer flavor.
- Ensure even coating and spreading for uniform crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
