Seasoned Oyster Crackers

Oct 22, 2021 · 15 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe for seasoned oyster crackers is a super simple snack that you won’t be able to stop eating!  A friend of mine shared it with me and it’s so good.

I was talking with a friend of mine about Thanksgiving and what some of her family’s favorite recipes are.  She giggled a little and told me about this cracker recipe.  She laughed because the recipe is SO simple!

In her family, they make these crackers every year for when guests come over in the afternoon, but she ends up snacking on them all day while getting Thanksgiving dinner prepped. After making them, I’m going to add them to our holiday menus as well, because OMG THEY’RE SO GOOD!

Ingredients for seasoned oyster crackers

What ingredients do I need to make seasoned oyster crackers?

  • Buttermilk Ranch dip mix (each are .4oz)
  • Dill weed
  • Vegetable oil
  • Lemon pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Oyster crackers (the small ones) – about 5 cups

Mixing ingredients in glass mixing bowl

When I was recipe testing, the first time I made these, I tasted them and they immediately reminded me of the flavor of Gardettos.  And that is a winner in my book.

This recipe is very flavorful.  If you prefer a less strong flavor, you can use half the amount of seasoning.

How to make seasoned oyster crackers:

  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  2. Pour oil into bowl. Add ranch dip and other spices.
  3. Pour over crackers and stir until coated.
  4. Dump on baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20, stirring after 10 minutes.
  6. Let cool and enjoy!

What can I use these crackers for?

  • I love to use them as croutons on a salad, like this one.
  • They taste great in soup – a few of my favorite soup recipes below:
    • Butternut squash soup
    • Instant Pot sausage sweet potato soup
    • Tomato, white bean and noodle soup
  • Or just enjoy them on their own!

These seasoned oyster crackers are a snack you can make over and over again.  They taste great for days after making them, but I doubt they’ll last that long!

    Do I need to use the packets of Buttermilk Ranch Dip or can I use Regular Ranch Dip

      The oil and seasonings get baked into the crackers, they probably would be fine without baking but with the baking everything adheres together better 🙂

    I used to love these! I haven’t had them in years, I wonder why they fell out of favor. I have got to try this recipe this weekend.

      These are so perfect for the holidays! My friend said she just puts them in little bowls on the counter or table for grazing, it’s genius, I’m going to do that too this year!
