Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create this flavorful masterpiece

Preheat Your Equipment Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Low and slow is the key to perfectly crisped crackers

Prepare Your Cooking Vessel Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, and spread the crackers out in an even layer

Cook to Perfection Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure every cracker gets crispy and coated. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overbrown

Finishing Touches Let cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll continue to crisp as they cool

Serve and Enjoy Once cool, pour them into a serving bowl and get snacking. Warning they disappear fast
