Ingredients

• 10 ounces Oyster crackers
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 packet (1 ounce) Ranch dressing mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a seasoned oil mixture.

Step 3

Add the oyster crackers to the bowl and toss until all the crackers are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure the crackers are evenly toasted.

Step 6

Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the crackers to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Step 8

Serve as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips!
