Ingredients
Scale
Seasoning Mix
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional for spice)
Base
- 1 cup Crackers (use gluten-free crackers if desired)
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (can substitute olive oil for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow baking the crackers.
- Mix Seasonings and Oil: In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes until well combined.
- Coat the Crackers: Place the crackers into a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag and pour the seasoning oil mixture over them. Toss or shake to coat the crackers evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Bake First Round: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to begin crisping and flavor infusion.
- Stir and Flip: Gently stir or flip the crackers on the baking sheet to promote even cooking and browning.
- Bake Second Round: Continue baking the crackers for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until they turn golden brown and become crisp.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to control the spice level to your preference.
- For gluten-free crackers, substitute regular crackers with a certified gluten-free brand.
- Using olive oil instead of vegetable oil will add a more pronounced flavor but may slightly alter texture.
- Keep an eye on crackers during the final bake to prevent burning as oven temperatures can vary.
