Alabama‑style firecrackers are a spicy, addictive snack made with saltine crackers tossed in seasoned oil and baked or rested until bold and flavorful 🔥🧂
What they’re like
- Crunchy, savory, and spicy
- No batter, no frying
- Great for parties, game nights, or snacking
Typical ingredients
- Saltine crackers
- Vegetable or olive oil
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Crushed red pepper flakes (this brings the “fire”)

How they’re usually made
- Place crackers in a large bag or bowl.
- Mix oil with ranch seasoning and red pepper flakes.
- Pour over crackers and gently toss to coat.
- Let them sit for several hours (or bake briefly) so the flavor soaks in.
Tips
