What are Oyster Crackers Used for?

The origin of the name Oyster Cracker is still unclear. But, it could be because they were used in oyster stew or clam chowder, or that they are a similar shape to an oyster or clam shell (kind of).

Traditionally Oyster Crackers are used as a soup cracker. We love to eat them in Chicken Noodle Soup or Chili.

This recipe for Seasoned Oyster Crackers is intended as more of a snack or appetizer. Of course they would also be great added to a bowl of soup… either IN the soup or on the side!

How to Make Seasoned Oyster Crackers

This is a super simple seasoned cracker recipe!

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

In a small mixing bowl whisk together 1 cup of oil (use canola, vegetable, olive oil or a blend of those oils), ranch dressing dry mix packet, dried dill, garlic powder, and celery salt.

Pour this mixture over the Oyster crackers and stir, making sure the crackers are completely coated with the oil mixture. When you stir, make sure to get all the way to the bottom of the bowl, the oil/seasoning mixture will sink to the bottom.

Place the seasoned crackers on a large baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

Let the crackers cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

How to Store Seasoned Oyster Crackers

Your Dill & Ranch Oyster Crackers should stay fresh for a week in an airtight container on the counter. However, they are best eaten fresh or within a day or two.
