Ranch Oyster Crackers (Printable)

Golden oyster crackers coated in savory ranch seasoning bake up perfectly crispy for ultimate snacking.

# Ingredient List:

→ Crackers

01 - 1 bag (9–10 ounces) oyster crackers

→ Seasoning Mixture

02 - ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
03 - 1 packet (1 ounce / 3 tablespoons) ranch seasoning mix
04 - ½ teaspoon dried dill
05 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ¼ teaspoon onion powder

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together the oil or melted butter, ranch seasoning mix, dried dill, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
04 - Pour the seasoning mixture over the crackers and toss gently until all crackers are evenly coated.
05 - Spread the coated crackers in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through baking, until the crackers are golden and crisp.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet; crackers will crisp further as they cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under 20 minutes with zero cooking experience needed
  • The addictive ranch flavor keeps everyone reaching for just one more handful
02 -
  • Low and slow baking prevents burning while ensuring every cracker gets perfectly crisp throughout
  • These need to cool completely before you store them, otherwise trapped steam makes them soggy
03 -
  • Toss the seasoning mixture and crackers in a sealed container or bag instead of a bowl for the most even coating with less mess
  • Let the crackers sit in the seasoning for 10 minutes before baking if you want deeper flavor penetration
