Servings 9
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 9 ounces oyster crackers*
- 2 tablespoons ranch dip seasoning (e.g., the dried seasoning in a packet)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275ºF. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper (for easy clean-up).
- Melt the butter in a small pot on the stove top, or in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Whisk the oil into the butter, and then add the remaining seasoning ingredients, whisking well.
- Pour the crackers into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle 1/2 of the butter mixture over the crackers, and then gently stir the crackers with a spatula, bringing the crackers on the bottom up to the top as you stir. Pour the remaining butter over the crackers and stir again. This two-step addition ensures a better distribution of the seasoning throughout all of the crackers.
- Spread out the crackers on the baking sheet, leveling them out into a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through the bake and re-leveling. The crackers should take on a lightly golden hue, and the heat from the oven will dry out the crackers so they won't be greasy.
- Let the baked crackers cool on the pan, and then serve. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
*Brands differ in how they package their crackers. The clear bags are often 9 ounces. Boxed crackers range from 8 to 12 ounces. You can either measure out 9 ounces to match this recipe, or increase or decrease the remaining ingredients just slightly to account for the different weights.
