Dill Pickle Saltines Snack (Printable)

Crispy saltines coated in tangy dill-pickle butter and spices for a zesty, shareable snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Crackers

01 - 1 sleeve (about 4.2 oz) saltine crackers

→ Dill Pickle Seasoning

02 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
03 - 1 ½ tbsp dill pickle juice
04 - 1 tbsp dried dill weed
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - ½ tsp onion powder
07 - ½ tsp kosher salt
08 - ½ tsp cracked black pepper
09 - ½ tsp sugar (optional, for balance)

→ Garnish

10 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Lay the saltine crackers in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dill pickle juice, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
04 - Using a pastry brush or spoon, drizzle or brush the seasoning mixture evenly over the crackers, making sure each one is thoroughly coated.
05 - Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden, crisp, and fragrant.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped fresh dill before serving if desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The buttery dill coating bakes right into the cracker so your fingers get just enough flavor without a greasy mess.
  • You probably have every single ingredient sitting in your pantry and spice rack right now.
02 -
  • Do not skip the full cooling time because the crackers continue to crisp as they sit and will soften if you seal them warm.
  • Tossing the crackers gently halfway through baking prevents the bottoms from browning unevenly.
03 -
  • Taste your pickle juice before measuring because some brands are far saltier than others and you may want to adjust the added salt.
  • A silicone pastry brush coats the crackers more evenly than a spoon and wastes less of that precious seasoned butter.
