Key to Success #1 – Spice Things Up with Ranch, Dill, and Garlic
The Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning blend is what gives this recipe its signature taste.
The ingredients are simple but combine together in a way that creates a spectacular result.
This blend usually contains onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika or chili powder, red bell pepper, oregano, and dill weed.
When combined with the other ingredients in this recipe – dill and garlic powder – these spices create an incredible flavor profile that will tantalize your taste buds.
The first step in making ranch oyster crackers is gathering all the necessary ingredients.
You’ll need a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning dried dill weed, garlic powder, and vegetable oil.
Combine the oil and seasonings in a small bowl until they are well combined.
Key to Success #2 – Coat Crackers in Seasoned Oil Then Bake
Once you have gathered all the ingredients, place the oyster crackers into a large plastic zip-top baggie or bowl.
Next add the oil, that has been combined with ranch seasonings, dill, and garlic.
Seal up the plastic bag or cover the bowl with a lid before giving it a good shake until each individual cracker is lightly coated with all the spices and oil mixture.
Now it’s time to bake them!
Spread out the seasoned crackers on a rimmed baking sheet.
Then bake in an oven preheated to 250 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until they are crisp and golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn as they cook.
Key to Success #3 – Cool Before Serving
Baking the crackers will make them light and toasty.
The oil will help distribute the zesty flavors throughout the crackers.
But be sure to allow the crackers to cool completely before serving.
If you want to add some extra flavor try adding a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, cracked pepper, or other herbs and spices while the crackers are still hot.
To speed up cooling time, spread the crackers onto a sheet of waxed paper on the countertop.
Leave a small gap between each cracker to promote air circulation and help the crackers cool faster.
Once they are completely cooled, place them in an airtight container or plastic bag for storage.
These ranch oyster crackers also make great party food.
Doubled batches can easily be prepared ahead of time which makes them super convenient when entertaining guests.
And because they’re so flavorful there’s no need for extra dipping sauces (though feel free if desired).
If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different seasonings, like cayenne pepper or Italian seasoning.
Whatever suits your taste buds best!
