Scale
Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)
- 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Main
- 18 ounces oyster crackers
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheets and seasoning: Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil to ensure easy cleanup later. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch dressing mix, lemon pepper, dried dill weed, and garlic powder until well combined to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Coat the crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a very large bowl. Drizzle the melted butter and seasoning mixture over the crackers. Toss gently but thoroughly until all crackers are evenly coated with the mixture, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
- Air-dry the crackers: Spread the coated oyster crackers evenly across the prepared baking sheets. Allow them to air-dry at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. During this time, stir the crackers periodically to promote even drying and prevent clumping, resulting in a crispy texture without baking.

- Be sure to spread the crackers in a single layer and stir occasionally during drying to achieve the best texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
