Ingredients
1 box (12–13 oz) Cheez-It crackers
¼ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
1–2 tsp garlic powder
1–2 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder (for spice, optional)
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Mix seasoning – In a large bowl, combine oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne (if using).
3. Coat crackers – Add Cheez-Its to the bowl, toss until fully coated with seasoning.
4. Bake – Spread crackers evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20–30 minutes, stirring halfway through so they crisp evenly.
5. Cool & store – Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tip:
You can swap ranch mix for taco seasoning, BBQ seasoning, or even parmesan + Italian herbs for different flavors.
