What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Bright Ideas: Zesty Butter-Baked Crackers! When you are looking for a crunchy snack and really have no interest in leaving the house, fancy crackers satisfy. More than likely, you have all the ingredients on hand. I think you’ll be surprised. In a few minutes, the kitchen will draw curiosity-seekers who put down their electronic devices to see what smells so good. Then go one step further, serve them with a slather of cream cheese, cocktail sauce, and baby shrimp. It can transform these buttery snacks into a culinary appetizer your family will remember. Better make more and hide them in the freezer.
ZESTY BUTTER-BAKED CRACKERS
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 sleeve saltine crackers
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly mist a baking sheet with nonstick oil. Set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, warm butter on Low setting for 20 seconds. Add olive oil, onion powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, and dill weed. Stir to mix thoroughly. Take one cracker at a time, dip into the butter mixture to coat both sides, and place it on the baking sheet. Repeat until all crackers and butter are used. Arrange the crackers in a single layer by rows. Bake 10 minutes; turn over and bake 10 minutes longer. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container.
Excellent idea, Gail, thank you!

Nothing like a good cracker. Add some cheese and it’ a partay.

What a clever way to dress up ordinary saltines which I personally find bland as all get out. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
