Description

These Ranch-Seasoned Crackers are a deliciously savory snack perfect for parties or everyday munching. Made by tossing oyster crackers with a classic Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning blend, dill, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and vegetable oil, then slow-baked to crispy perfection, they offer a flavorful twist that’s easy to prepare and irresistible to eat.

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

Other Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Mix Seasonings: Preheat your oven to 200ºF. In a large bowl, combine the oyster crackers with the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet, dill, garlic powder, and lemon pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings over the crackers.
  2. Add Oil and Combine: Pour the vegetable oil over the seasoned crackers and thoroughly stir to ensure all crackers are lightly coated with oil and seasonings, which will help them crisp up during baking.
  3. Prepare for Baking: Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Spread the seasoned crackers in an even layer on the pan to allow for consistent baking and crispiness.
  4. Bake and Turn: Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake the crackers at 200ºF for one hour. Every 15 minutes, remove the pan and turn the crackers to ensure even baking and prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the pan to finish crisping up. Once cooled, serve and enjoy your flavorful ranch-seasoned snack.

Notes

  • To enhance crispiness, make sure to spread the crackers in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • You can adjust the seasoning amounts according to your taste preference, adding more dill or lemon pepper for extra zest.
  • Store cooled crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
  • Oven temperatures can vary, so monitor crackers closely to avoid over-baking or burning.
