Ranch Oyster Cracker Recipe

Ranch Seasoned Oyster Crackers are an easy to make snack that's perfect for parties or simply keeping on hand for snacking!

These seasoned oyster crackers are not just great for parties and holidays, they are also great for gifting to friends and neighbors. It takes just minutes to whip up a batch and I guarantee anyone who tastes them will just love them!

Ingredients

• oyster crackers
• Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix
• dill
• garlic powder
• vegetable oil
• butter
• Parmesan cheese, if desired

Step by step instructions

This recipe is so simple, it's a great one to have the kids help with!

1. Toss the crackers with oil and melted butter.
2. Add ranch seasoning mix and spices and stir to coat the crackers with the ranch seasoning.
3. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

Seriously, isn't your mouth just watering?? They bake up perfectly golden and crispy!

If I am serving the seasoned crackers immediately I like to sprinkle them with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a little chopped fresh parsley for an extra special touch.

If packaging them up to gift, simply allow them to cool completely before packing in an airtight container.

Tips and variations

• if you don't have ranch seasoning on hand you can make homemade ranch seasoning to substitute
• Spice it up: add in ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Sweet version: omit olive oil and add ¼ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon instead of the ranch and spices
• Mexican style: use taco seasoning in place of ranch seasoning and omit the dill
• Unbaked: some recipes don't bake the crackers but I recommend not skipping the baking, it really crisps up the crackers and all that flavor!
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days
