Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they have enough room to be evenly coated with the seasoning.
In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquefied.
Add the ranch dressing mix, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper to the melted butter. Whisk thoroughly to combine into a smooth, seasoned mixture.
Pour the seasoned butter evenly over the oyster crackers in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the crackers with a spatula or spoon until all crackers are evenly coated.
Spread the coated oyster crackers onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring the crackers gently halfway through the cook time to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Transfer the cooled oyster crackers to an airtight container or resealable bag for storage. Serve as a festive holiday snack or party appetizer!
