Ranch Oyster Crackers
These crunchy, flavorful Ranch Oyster Crackers are a quick and addictive snack, made with a savory seasoning blend and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or adding crunch to soups and salads.
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz bag oyster crackers
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 packet 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon lemon pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the oil: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, ranch seasoning, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon pepper (if using).
- Coat the crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoned oil over them and toss until evenly coated.
- Bake the crackers: Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Let the crackers cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For a spicy version, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- These also make a great crunchy topping for creamy soups or chili.
- If you prefer less oil, reduce to 3 tablespoons—still flavorful, just a bit lighter.
