Crispy Italian-Seasoned Saltine Crackers
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers (approximately 40 crackers)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of salted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning, and once completely melted, remove from heat.
3. Mix Seasonings: Add 2 teaspoons of seasoned salt and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the melted butter. Stir well until the seasonings are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
4. Prepare Crackers: Lay a sleeve of saltine crackers out in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring no overlap. For optimal flavor absorption, each cracker should be placed flat.
5. Coat Crackers: Using a pastry brush, generously brush the melted butter mixture onto each cracker. Make sure to cover the surface evenly to ensure each cracker is fully seasoned.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crackers turn a golden brown hue and the seasoning has absorbed into each cracker.
7. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the sheet from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes. This will help them crisp up further as they cool.
8. Serve or Store: These crackers can be served immediately as a snack or stored in an airtight container for up to a week, maintaining their crunchy texture and delectable flavor.
