Storage & Reheat Tips

Store in a Glad zipper bag to keep them fresh for up to 2 weeks. Storing in the refrigerator can also keep them fresh longer. Once they start to go stale, you can crush them in the same zipper bag to make seasoned breadcrumbs.

Steps (3)

1

Preheat the oven to 250°F. In a small bowl, add the oil, ranch seasoning, dill, and lemon pepper and/or garlic powder. Stir until mixed through.
2

In a 1-gallon-size Glad® Zipper Bag, add the crackers and oil mixture. Seal the bag and toss until well-coated.
3

Spread the crackers on an ungreased half-sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool before serving.

TIP: Allow to cool completely for crispier results!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KayceMac from Hard to keep them in the house! I have made these for many years. If they are not around for the Holidays, I hear about it!! The only changes I have made over the years is to up the amount of dill (we love dill!), and also, I make one batch which has cayenne pepper in it (for those in my family who prefer spicy snacks). These make a great food gift and are also great year-round.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nadiam57 from Oyster Crackers These are awesome and addicting! I have a few different versions and have also used Italian dressing mix and taco seasoning mix. A friend had told me only canola oil so that is what I have always used and I always replace a little bit of it with extra virgin olive oil and I think that makes it even more awesome...The other thing is I have never baked them. I mix every 20 or 30 minutes and give them a few hours to absorb and they are like I said addicting.
