CRACKers
Make these. Then have a party. Then make a batch for just yourself the next day.
CRACKers – Seasoned Oyster Crackers
(There are about a million variations of this recipe in existence. After making several batches, these are the proportions that I like best.)
- 1 bag oyster crackers
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 packet buttermilk Ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Dump oyster crackers in large Tupperware container. Combine oil and seasonings in measuring cup and whisk to combine. Pour seasoning mixture over oyster crackers, close lid, and gently shake to coat. Shake every few minutes until crackers are coated and no oil settles to bottom.

Mom used to make these all the time when I was in high school. Minus the pepper flakes, of course, because she can’t handle the kick.
I’ll have to make these again soon…thanks for sharing, Shimlet!

I have made these repeatedly and they NEVER come out! I know the problem is me and not the recipe, because I’ve eaten other people’s batches and they’re AWESOME. I have some kind of disorder, clearly.

I wonder if you could add parm cheese? Seems like I’ve had them before with some kind of powdery cheese???

I don’t see why not! (I’ll never say no to the addition of cheese.) Maybe a quick toss after the oil and seasonings have soaked in.

I’ll let you know how it goes!

The parm cheese was delish! I used about 3 teaspoons. I also used ground red pepper instead of flakes – 1/4 teaspoon – and it was just slightly spicy.

Oh, and I also baked them on 200 degrees for about 10-15 min, stirring a couple of times. They just seemed a little greasy and baking them kinda let the oil soak in a bit. My kids love them!

I’m making these right now for our New Year’s Eve party! I have them in the oven because they seemed a bit greasy – but they are super tasty!!!!

Glad you like! I’ve found that the size/brand of oyster crackers determines how greasy they are. Some absorb the oil better than others, but a quick pop in the oven makes it better.

I have a big ol’ bag of these crackers in my pantry right now that we’ve had forever. Thanks for a way to use them!

Beware…they’re addicting!

How far in advance can you make these? And how long can you store them after (if there are any left!)?

They’re good for at least a week stored in an airtight container. But you’re right, there won’t be any left.
