Ranch Oyster Crackers
To make Ranch Oyster Crackers, coat crackers with seasoned oil and bake low until they dry into something dangerously snackable. They work because the seasoning bakes in instead of sitting loose at the bottom of the bowl.
These ranch oyster crackers coat plain crackers in seasoned oil, then bake low until they dry into something dangerously snackable. It's a five-minute prep for a snack that disappears fast.
They're a good snack for game day or a party spread. Bake them low and slow so they dry through without burning.
