Step 3: Add the Crackers
Place the saltine crackers into your large bowl or bag. Try to keep them stacked and intact so they don’t crumble.
Step 4: Pour and Coat
Slowly pour the seasoning mixture over the crackers. If using a bowl, gently toss with a spatula. If using a bag, seal it tightly and carefully flip and turn it to coat all crackers evenly.
Tip: Take your time here—gentle handling keeps the crackers whole and ensures even flavor.
Step 5: Let Them Absorb the Flavor
Let the crackers sit at room temperature for about 30–60 minutes, turning or gently tossing every 10–15 minutes. This allows the seasoning to soak in fully without making the crackers soggy.
Step 6: Dry and Serve
Once the crackers are evenly coated and no excess oil pools at the bottom, they’re ready to eat. Spread them out briefly on a tray if you want extra crispness, then transfer to a serving bowl.
Storage Tips
- Store Dill Pickle Saltines in an airtight container

- Avoid refrigeration, as it can soften the crackers
Flavor Variations to Try
- Extra Dill: Add more dried dill or a pinch of dill seed
- Zesty Kick: Add a little lemon pepper seasoning
- Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle in powdered cheese seasoning
- Milder Version: Reduce pickle juice slightly for a gentler tang
