Ingredients
Scale
- 285 g Cheez-Its
- 28 g ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 2.5 mL garlic powder
- 2.5 mL onion powder
- 5 mL crushed red pepper flakes
- 60 mL vegetable oil
Instructions
- Set the oven to 120°C and allow it to reach full temperature before proceeding.
- In a large bowl, combine the ranch dressing seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes until uniformly mixed.
- Gradually drizzle the vegetable oil into the dry seasoning blend, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth emulsification.
- Add the Cheez-Its to the bowl and gently toss until each cracker is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Distribute the coated Cheez-Its in a single, even layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring minimal overlap for optimal crispness.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, stirring once midway to encourage even browning and prevent scorching.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Cheez-Its to cool completely on the tray to firm up and enhance their crunch.
- Once the Cheez-Its are fully cooled, transfer them to an airtight container for optimal freshness.
Notes
- For extra spice, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- These Cheez-Its can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasoning blends for varied flavors.
