Easy Alabama Firecracker Crackers turn plain saltines into a spicy, ranch-seasoned, ultra-addictive snack that’s perfect for parties, game days, and road trips. The crackers soak up a punchy oil-and-spice mixture, then toast in the oven until crisp, giving you salty, crunchy bites with plenty of heat from crushed red pepper flakes.
Why you’ll love these crackers
These Easy Alabama Firecracker Crackers use simple pantry ingredients—saltines, olive oil, ranch mix, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes—to deliver huge flavor with almost no prep time. The recipe bakes the crackers after tossing them in the seasoned oil, which speeds up the usual “marinate overnight” approach and still gives you that classic spicy Southern firecracker cracker taste.
They are ideal for feeding a crowd because one batch uses about four sleeves of saltines and takes roughly 15–20 minutes in the oven. The heat level is easy to customize by adjusting the red pepper flakes, so you can make them mild for sensitive palates or extra-fiery for spice lovers.
