Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mixture
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (Can use olive oil for added flavor.)
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Adjust for spiciness preference.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic is an alternative.)
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (Dried onion flakes can be used.)
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (Omit for a milder flavor.)
Base
- 1 cup Crackers (Use gluten-free crackers for dietary needs.)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the crackers evenly and thoroughly.
- Mix Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
- Coat Crackers: Place the crackers in a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the seasoned oil mixture over them, then toss or shake gently to coat each cracker evenly with the flavorful blend.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers in a single, even layer on a baking sheet to ensure uniform baking and crispiness.
- Bake and Stir: Bake the crackers for 10 minutes. Afterward, stir or flip them to promote even crisping on all sides.
- Finish Baking: Continue baking the crackers for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until they achieve a golden brown color and a crispy texture. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, substitute vegetable oil with olive oil.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning or chili flakes to modify the spiciness to your liking.
- Use gluten-free crackers to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Ensure crackers are spread in a single layer to achieve even baking and crispness.
- Watch closely in the last 5 to 10 minutes of baking to avoid burning the crackers.
