Ingredients

Scale

Crackers

  • 16 oz Oyster Crackers

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning (Original)
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Dill
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Lemon Pepper

Oil

  • 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 200ºF to ensure a low and slow warming process.
  2. Mix crackers and seasoning: In a large bowl, combine 16 ounces of oyster crackers with the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet, dill, garlic powder, and lemon pepper, tossing well to evenly coat the crackers with the dry spices.
  3. Add oil and combine: Pour in 1/3 cup of vegetable oil and stir thoroughly until all the crackers are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  4. Spread on roasting pan: Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and spread the seasoned crackers out in a single layer to ensure even baking.
  5. Bake and turn: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, turning the crackers every 15 minutes to promote even crisping and prevent burning.
  6. Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan before serving or storing to maintain their crisp texture.

Notes

  • Turning the crackers every 15 minutes ensures they crisp up evenly without burning.
  • Use a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and even heat distribution.
  • Store cooled crackers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
  • These crackers make a great party snack and pair well with dips like ranch dressing or hummus.
