Alabama Firecrackers are a spicy, flavorful snack made by coating saltine or ritz-style crackers in olive oil and a blend of Italian seasoning and chili flakes. These crackers are left to marinate overnight to fully absorb the bold, zesty flavors, making for a perfect crunchy appetizer or party snack. Serve them with a creamy dip to balance the heat.

Ingredients

Scale

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 entire box of crackers into a large Ziploc bag to create a spacious container for mixing.
  2. Add olive oil and seasoning: Pour the olive oil over the crackers in the bag. Add the Italian seasoning and chili flakes to the bag.
  3. Coat the crackers: Seal the bag and gently turn it over repeatedly to ensure all crackers are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  4. Marinate overnight: Leave the sealed bag at room temperature overnight, occasionally turning it over to keep the coating even and allow the flavors to fully infuse into the crackers.
  5. Serve: Once marinated, serve the spicy crackers as a crunchy snack accompanied by a creamy dip if desired.
  6. Storage: Store any leftover crackers sealed at room temperature. They will keep fresh for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use either saltine or Ritz style crackers based on your preferred texture and taste.
  • The longer the crackers marinate, the more intense the flavor.
  • A creamy dip such as ranch, blue cheese, or sour cream complements the spicy crackers well.
  • Store in a sealed bag or airtight container to maintain crispiness.
  • Adjust chili flakes to taste for desired spiciness.
