Ingredients
For the basic oyster cracker snack recipe without ranch, you’ll need:
Base Recipe:
-
- 1 bag (9 oz) plain oyster crackers
-
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or olive oil)
-
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
-
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
-
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
-
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
-
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use kosher salt)
-
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This gentle heat is perfect for infusing flavors without burning the delicate crackers.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze! If you’re making a larger batch, have two sheets ready.
In a small bowl, combine all your dry seasonings: garlic powder, dried parsley, dried dill, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This creates the perfect flavor base for your old fashioned oyster cracker snack recipe without ranch packets.
Pour the oyster crackers into a large mixing bowl. Make sure it’s big enough to stir without crackers jumping ship! (Lila always giggles when I use this term in the kitchen.)
Drizzle the vegetable oil over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly. Then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oil-coated crackers and stir gently until every cracker has some seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Bake at 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway to promote even crisping.
Take the crackers out of the oven and allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet—they’ll continue to crisp up as they rest. Once cooled, move them to an airtight container or a serving bowl.
