So good! Went to the store to grab 2 boxes of crackers after seeing this recipe!

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, vegetable oil or melted butter, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.

3. Add the oyster crackers to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the ranch mixture.

4. Spread the crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they have a little room in between each cracker for even baking.

5. Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

6. Once golden and fragrant, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. They will become even crispier as they cool.

Variations & Tips:

– For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce to the oil and ranch mix.
– If you prefer butter over vegetable oil, melt some unsalted butter and use it as a substitute for a richer flavor.
– Cheese lovers may enjoy adding a quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the seasoning mix before tossing with the oyster crackers.
– Store the baked crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.

Remember, the simplicity of this recipe invites experimentation, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Whatever variations you choose, these ranch-seasoned morsels are set to be a hit at your next gathering or as a simple joy in your daily snacking routine.
