Irresistibly Zesty Spiced Oyster Crackers

Ingredients

- 12 oz oyster crackers
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for a spicy kick)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 250°F (approximately 121°C).

2. Prepare the Spice Mixture:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, and cayenne pepper if using.

3. Coat the Crackers:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the oyster crackers.
- Drizzle the canola oil over the crackers, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oil-coated crackers, and gently stir until all crackers are thoroughly seasoned.

4. Baking the Crackers:
- Spread the seasoned oyster crackers in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

5. Cooling and Serving:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the crackers to cool completely on the tray for about 10 minutes. This helps enhance crunchiness.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
