Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to prepare this delicious snack:
Ingredients:
- 1 9 oz bag of oyster crackers
- 1/2 cup of olive or vegetable oil
- 4-5 tablespoons of ranch seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- Garlic powder to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of olive or vegetable oil, 4-5 tablespoons of ranch seasoning, 1 tsp of paprika, and garlic powder to taste. You can adjust the amount of garlic powder based on your preference for flavor.
- Open the 9 oz bag of oyster crackers and pour them into the seasoned oil mixture in the mixing bowl.
- Carefully stir and toss the crackers in the mixture until they are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil. You want each cracker to have a nice, even coating.
- Spread the seasoned crackers out on a large cookie sheet in a single layer. You can line the cookie sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup if desired.
- Place the cookie sheet with the crackers in the preheated oven.
- Bake the crackers at 250°F (120°C) for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, carefully remove the cookie sheet from the oven and stir the crackers around to ensure even baking.
- Return the cookie sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crackers are crisp and have absorbed the seasoning mixture.
- Once they are done, remove the Ranch crackers from the oven and allow them to cool. As they cool, they will become even more crisp.
- Once cooled, transfer the Ranch crackers to an airtight container or resealable bags for storage.
Enjoy your homemade Ranch crackers as a delicious snack or party appetizer!
