Plain snack crackers such as oyster, saltine, or club crackers gain flavor when tossed with dressing mix, melted butter or neutral oil, and spices. Ranch dressing powder combined with garlic powder, black pepper, and dried dill yields a classic herby profile. Italian dressing mix, Italian seasoning, or dehydrated tomato powder provide alternative flavor directions. Grated Parmesan or other cheeses add richness. Spice blends like everything bagel seasoning, Tajín, chili powder, paprika, or chili flakes bring heat and texture. Substitute lime juice for oil for a tangy twist and bake at about 250°F for up to 20 minutes until crisp.
All it takes is tossing the crackers in your go-to dressing mix for more flavor to create the ultimate crunchy snack. The best part of this cracker upgrade is that you'll likely already have most of the ingredients in the kitchen, and if you don't, the elements aren't challenging or pricey to secure. Oyster, saltine, club crackers, or any other variety in the pantry can work for this trick.
If you want to use a classic ranch dressing powder, combine it with garlic powder, black pepper, and dried herbs like dill. You can also toss in other options to give the crackers some heat, like chili flakes, paprika, or chili powder. Another option is to use Italian dressing mix if that's your desired flavor profile. Lean into the herbs of it with Italian seasoning or try something more out of the box, like dehydrated tomato powder.
