Caesar Fire Crackers
HB-6299 · Hand-built original
Saltine crackers soaked in anchovy oil seasoned with Dijon mustard, lemon zest, garlic powder and Parmesan, then baked until golden.
Main ingredient: anchovy oil
Ingredients
- ½ cup anchovy oil (from 2–3 large jars or tins of anchovies)
- ½ cup (or more) vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper; plus more (optional)
- 8 oz. saltines (about 2 sleeves)
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan; plus more for serving (optional)
Method
- Fork the anchovy oil, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, garlic powder and ground pepper together in a large resealable bag, add the saltines and the finely grated Parmesan, seal the bag and turn the Caesar crackers gently until the oil coats them.
- Leave the saltines in the bag at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or chill the Caesar fire crackers for up to 12 hours, turning the bag several times so the seasoning redistributes.
- Heat the oven to 250°F, spread the marinated saltines in a single layer over two parchment-lined baking sheets, and bake the Caesar fire crackers for 15 to 23 minutes, swapping the sheets halfway, until golden.
- Cool the Caesar fire crackers on their sheets for at least 5 minutes, then finish the crackers with extra ground pepper and Parmesan before serving them.
