Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag of oyster crackers (9-10 oz / 285 g)
  • 1 packet of ranch seasoning (1-ounce packet)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, or 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (2 teaspoons if you love dill like I do)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (121°C).
  2. Whisk together the ranch seasoning, oil, and dried dill until combined.
  3. Place the oyster crackers in a large bowl and pour the seasoning mixture over them. Stir gently to coat the crackers evenly. Adjust seasoning at this point if desired.
  4. Spread the coated crackers onto a sheet pan.
Baking
  1. Bake the crackers for 15-20 minutes, until the coating is dry.
Serving
  1. Serve the finished ranch crackers once they are dried and crisp.

Notes

You can use either butter or oil for the coating; oil helps keep the crackers crispier, while butter adds a richer flavor. Dried dill works better than freeze-dried dill because it is more finely ground and has a stronger flavor. The same method can be used with pretzels, cheez its, mini saltines, or popcorn. As written, the crackers have a concentrated ranch flavor; for a milder version, use two bags of crackers instead of one.
