Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your crackers bake evenly and get that perfect crunch.
- Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This not only prevents sticking but also makes cleanup a breeze.
- Step 3: Mix the Oil and Spices - In a mixing bowl, combine the canola oil (or light extra virgin olive oil), smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher or sea salt, dehydrated onions, dried parsley flakes, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk or stir until well combined.
- Step 4: Coat the Crackers - Take your whole-grain saltine crackers and carefully dip each one into the oil and spice mixture. You want to ensure they are evenly coated but not overly soggy.
- Step 5: Arrange on the Baking Sheet - Place the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to allow for even baking.
- Step 6: Bake - Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Step 7: Cool and Store - Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
Notes
- These crackers are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
- To revive any soft crackers, bake them for a few minutes to restore their crunch.
- Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste preferences.
