🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes about 8 servings of tangy, crispy deliciousness.
1½ cups olive oil
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 tbsp dill pickle juice
1 tbsp dried dill
1 (11 oz) box mini saltine crackers
✨ Tip: Use mini saltines for maximum flavor coverage, but regular saltines work great too.
👩🍳 How to Make Dill Pickle Saltines
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Seasoning
In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, combine:
1½ cups olive oil
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 packet ranch seasoning
1 tbsp dill pickle juice
1 tbsp dried dill
Seal the bag and shake well until everything is evenly mixed and emulsified.
Step 3: Add and Coat the Crackers
Add the mini saltines to the bag. Seal and gently shake/toss to coat all the crackers evenly with the flavored oil mixture.
Take your time with this step — you want every cracker to soak up the flavor!
Step 4: Bake
Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake at 250°F for 15–20 minutes, or until the crackers are crisp and golden, and most of the oil has been absorbed.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Let the crackers cool for 10–15 minutes. They’ll firm up as they cool and become even more irresistible.
Transfer to a bowl and get ready for the flavor explosion. 🎉
🌟 Pro Tips for Maximum Crunch + Flavor
Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
Let the crackers sit out briefly after baking for extra crunch.
Customize the spice by adding red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
Make ahead for parties — these store well for several days!
🧊 Storage Instructions
Store cooled crackers in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature.
They’ll stay fresh and crispy for up to 1 week.
Not freezer-friendly — they lose their crunch when thawed.
