Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk canola oil, crushed red pepper flakes, ranch dressing mix, and chili powder together in a bowl.

Step 2

Divide crackers evenly into two 1-gallon-sized sealable bags. Pour oil mixture evenly over crackers; seal the bags and flip to allow oil mixture to run over the crackers for 5 minutes; flip again. Repeat the flipping every five minutes to evenly coat the crackers for about 1 hour.

Step 3

Remove crackers from the bags and spread onto large platters. Allow to sit, 8 hours to overnight before serving.
