INSTRUCTIONS

5 steps.

5 STEPS

1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C)

2
Step 2

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a very large bowl for tossing the crackers. This gives you room to work and helps prevent breakage.
2
A low oven temperature is key. You are drying the crackers out more than browning them.
3
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two sheets if necessary to ensure the crackers bake into a crispy snack, not a soggy one.
4
Let the crackers cool completely before storing or eating. This is when they achieve their signature crispiness.
5
Store in a well-sealed airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
