INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the Crackers
Place your crackers in a large Ziploc bag. This helps coat them evenly without any mess.
Step 2: Add Olive Oil
Pour the olive oil over the crackers. Close the bag and gently toss the crackers to ensure they’re well coated. Using olive oil ensures the spices stick to every cracker.
Step 3: Seasoning Time
Add the Italian seasoning and chili flakes to the bag. Seal the bag and shake it again, flipping it over multiple times so each cracker gets evenly seasoned.
Step 4: Marinate Overnight
Leave the sealed bag at room temperature overnight, flipping it occasionally. This step is crucial because it allows the flavors to infuse and intensify.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
The next day, your Alabama Firecrackers are ready! Serve them as is, or with a creamy dip to balance the heat.
NOTES
Use fresh spices: Fresh Italian seasoning and chili flakes will elevate the taste.
Experiment with flavors: Try adding garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a hint of black pepper for extra depth.
Control the spice level: If you want less heat, start with 1 tablespoon of chili flakes, taste, and adjust.
