Pour this mixture into the bag with the crackers, along with the vegetable oil.
Seal the bag tightly and shake it well to make sure the crackers are evenly coated.

Bake them for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
After baking, let the crackers cool completely to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
