Alabama Firecrackers

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz box of crackers – saltine or Ritz style
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 3 tbsp chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crackers:
    Empty the box of crackers into a large Ziploc bag. The crackers can be saltines or Ritz crackers, depending on your preference. Both work wonderfully for this recipe, providing the perfect crispy base.
  2. Add the Olive Oil:
    Pour the olive oil into the bag, ensuring that the crackers are evenly coated. You want each cracker to absorb the oil for maximum flavor.
  3. Add the Spices:
    Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and chili flakes. These are the key ingredients that give these firecrackers their distinctive, bold flavor.
  4. Seal and Shake:
    Seal the bag tightly and give it a good shake. Turn the bag over and over, making sure every cracker is well-coated with the oil and spices. This step is essential to ensure that each cracker gets the perfect amount of seasoning.
  5. Let it Sit Overnight:
    Once the crackers are coated, leave the bag sealed at room temperature overnight. Turn the bag over every so often to make sure the oil and spices are evenly distributed as the crackers soak in the flavors.
  6. Serve:
    The next day, your Alabama Firecrackers are ready to serve! You can eat them as is or pair them with a creamy dip of your choice. These crackers are the perfect combination of spicy, savory, and crunchy—addictive from the first bite!
