Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Oyster crackers
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.
Add the oyster crackers to the bowl and toss until all the crackers are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the crackers are evenly toasted.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the crackers to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Serve as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips!
