Mount as you would on a normal wall, but be sure and use hollow wall anchors with your screws. Pre-drill the holes, tap the anchors in and then screw your rack in place. Most home improvement and many days stores will sell the anchors. Good luck!
Command hooks.
They also sell over the door organizers that hang over the top of your door just for spices. That way if you ever want to do something else, you won't have holes in your door. We have one and have moved it around to different rooms depending on our needs and the house we were in.

I have a spice rack on my door that is exactly like yours and all I did was screw in the screws. It has been there 18 years and has not fall down. However, it is a wire rack and not heavy.
These might be light weight enough to try: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/organize/kitchen/diy-1-spice-racks-7354470

I would would install one of the spice racks using the screws provided to see if it works well. Measuring is key so the bottles are easy to reach and remove. If the screws don't hold in the hollow door, then purchase wall anchors and use them. Since each holder is separate, it should work with the scerws provided.
You could glue 1/4 inch MDF on the back and use construction adhesive to adhere that to the door. It won't move for decades.
Great idea from Mogie!
Hi Peggy: You can use hollow wall holders. Here are the ones from Home Depot, and if you read the product details, you will see the weight tolerances for each. They are easy to install, and I would recommend a washer between the door and screw head. Cobra TripleGrip #6 Beige Anchor and Screws (2-Piece) 170SD - The Home Depot Be sure that whatever type of screw you use is shorter than the door is wide so that you don't puncture the other side :) Also, you have to be sure that the items on the door won't hit the shelves inside of the cabinet, keeping it from closing, once you close the door.
Good luck
