How much time is needed to prepare firecrackers?
They take a few minutes to prep and need to sit overnight for about 12 hours to really soak up the oil and for the seasonings to be enhanced.
What type of oil is best for making firecrackers?
It’s best to use olive oil. It has a neutral flavor and gives the firecracker crackers a great texture. If you want to swap the olive oil you can use vegetable oil or avocado oil if you’d rather.
What type of spices can I use for flavoring firecrackers?
We recommend using garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dry ranch dressing, and red pepper flakes. You could also add in other seasonings if you’d like. Paprika is a great choice! Or you can reach for some dried spicy ranch dressing instead.
What type of nuts can I use in firecrackers?
You can add any nuts that you like. Peanuts are the most popular, but cashews, almonds, walnuts, and pecans would all be great choices.

How can I make firecrackers that are healthier?
You can use any healthy cracker instead of saltines. Otherwise, the rest of the ingredients are healthy or are seasonings, so they don’t have a huge effect.
How can I make sure my firecrackers don’t stick together?
Due to the olive oil, they won’t stick together, but if they do, just gently pull them apart.
How do I store firecrackers?
Store in a sealed, airtight container for up to 5 days. They last at room temperature, so there is no need to refrigerate them.
