3. Pour the vegetable oil over the spice mixture and stir until smooth and well combined.

delicious – and pour the seasoned ranch butter over them. Gently mix with a spatula or your hands to
coat all the dough.
5. Divide the shells into sections of the sheet. You may need two pages to have enough space.
6. Place them in the oven and let them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning them occasionally.

Variants and Tips:
– For people sensitive to gluten, you can replace Saltine with your favorite gluten-free ingredients
without looking into the oven, as baking times may vary.
– If ranch isn’t your thing, you can use Italian dressing for a variety of spicy flare.
– Details can be halved or doubled depending on the size of the whole, just take into account the
amount of oil and fat.
– If you have any, store leftovers in an airtight container to preserve them until next time.
