Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- Saltine crackers (amount as desired, typically 1 sleeve or about 40 crackers)
Seasoning Blend
- 1 tsp dry dill weed
- 1 tbsp powdered ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp celery salt or kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp white vinegar powder or pickle juice powder (optional)
Coating
- Olive oil spray or 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare your seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine dry dill weed, powdered ranch dressing mix, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, and white vinegar powder if using. Mix until well blended so every cracker gets an even distribution of flavor.
- Coat the crackers: Spread your saltine crackers on a large baking sheet. Lightly spritz them with olive oil spray or brush with melted butter to help the seasoning stick beautifully.
- Sprinkle the seasoning: Generously dust the seasoning blend over the crackers, ensuring each one gets a good layer of that tangy dill goodness.
- Toss gently: Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss or press the seasoning into the crackers so it adheres well but they don’t break.
- Let them set: Allow your Dill Pickle Saltines to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and the seasoning settle into the crunchy surface.
Notes
- Use fresh dried herbs and powders for maximum flavor.
- Apply seasoning in layers if needed to avoid soggy crackers from too much oil or powder.
- Pickle juice powder is ideal, but a gentle splash of apple cider vinegar adds brightness too.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep crackers crisp and flavorful.
- Make in small batches to keep saltines fresh.
