Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package oyster crackers
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). While the oven is warming, gather all your ingredients and a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the entire package of oyster crackers into a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, dried dill, and garlic powder until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a smooth seasoning mixture.
- Slowly drizzle the seasoning mixture over the oyster crackers, gently stirring and tossing to ensure each cracker is evenly coated. Use a large spoon or spatula to carefully mix, making sure all crackers are well-seasoned.
- Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure the crackers are not overlapping to promote even seasoning and slight crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even coating and light toasting.
- Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage. These crackers will stay fresh and crispy for up to a week.
Tips
- Preheat Properly: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 250°F (120°C) before baking to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Mix Thoroughly: When combining the seasoning mixture with the oyster crackers, take your time to gently toss them. This ensures that every cracker is perfectly coated with flavor.
- Single Layer is Key: Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on your baking sheet. This helps them toast evenly and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Stir Halfway: Remember to stir the crackers halfway through baking. This will help achieve an even golden color and crispness.
- Cooling Time: Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet after baking. They will continue to crisp up as they cool, enhancing their texture.
- Storage: Store your Dilly Ranch Oyster Crackers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for up to a week.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize the seasoning mix! Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or try different herbs to suit your taste.
