INGREDIENTS:
- 1 (10-ounce) package oyster crackers
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well to ensure that all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over the crackers, tossing gently to coat each one evenly.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the butter-coated crackers, tossing gently to ensure that all the crackers are well coated with the savory seasoning blend. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
- Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are crisp and golden brown, stirring halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- If desired, garnish the crackers with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Transfer the Baked Garlic Parmesan Ranch Oyster Crackers to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for later snacking.
