Ingredients

Scale

Seasoned Oil Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 1-ounce envelopes Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning (or 6 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning)
  • 4 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper

Snack Base

  • 36 ounces oyster crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F to prepare for slow baking, which crisps the crackers without burning.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the canola or vegetable oil, ranch seasoning mix, dried dill weed, and lemon pepper. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are fully blended, creating a flavorful oil coating.
  3. Coat Crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a large bowl. Pour the seasoned oil mixture evenly over the crackers.
  4. Toss to Coat: Gently stir the crackers until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture, ensuring consistent flavor throughout.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated oyster crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet or inside a large roasting pan. Spacing them out helps them bake evenly and become crispy.
  6. Bake and Stir: Bake the crackers at 275°F for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through the baking time to prevent burning and to promote even crisping and golden coloring.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use a low oven temperature to avoid burning the crackers and to ensure they become perfectly crispy.
  • Stirring halfway through baking is crucial to ensure even coating and browning.
  • Store the finished crackers in an airtight container at room temperature to keep their crunch for up to two weeks.
  • Substitute homemade ranch seasoning if preferred, adjusting the quantity to taste.
  • These crackers make an excellent party snack or a flavorful addition to snack mixes.
