Why You’ll Love These Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers

Little crackers topped with simple seasonings and made with pantry ingredients- what’s not to love!

• Great snack for game day – Instead of putting out a bowl of chips or pretzels for the big game, this salty snack makes a great swap.
• Change up the seasoning – You can take plain crackers and top them with just about any seasoning blend you’d like to make your new favorite simple snack.
• Great for gifting – Make a double batch, add to cute airtight containers, wrap with a bow and gift to family and friends for the holidays. 

Ingredients

You can find all of these simple ingredients at your local grocery store. 

• Oyster crackers – You can’t make these seasoned crackers without, well, the crackers! The best oyster crackers that I’ve found to use have been the Westminster brand. You can also use Premium.
• Fresh dill – This is where the dill comes in. I much prefer to use fresh dill instead of dried. Fresh herbs pack much more of a flavor punch for these dill-seasoned oyster crackers.
• Garlic powder – Garlic and dill are a match made in heaven. But no need to use fresh garlic- garlic powder works just fine.
• Salt and pepper – The only other seasoning I use is a simple blend of ground black pepper and fine sea salt.
• Extra virgin olive oil – I like to use a light olive oil so that the flavor is overpowering. But you could also use vegetable oil or melted butter instead.

Variations

There are plenty of ways you can make these dill seasoned oyster crackers your own. Here are a few suggestions.

• Make them spicy – Try adding some red pepper flakes for those family members who like things a little spicier.
• Seasonings – Try different seasoning blends like taco seasoning, onion powder, ranch dressing seasoning mix or lemon pepper seasoning.
• Cheese – Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before baking to add a cheesy twist to these crackers.

How to Make Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers Recipe

​You are going to love how easy it is to make these mini saltines.

1. Prepare oven and pan. Preheat oven and cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Combine ingredients and toss crackers. In a medium mixing bowl combine all ingredients and toss until fully all oyster crackers are equally covered in mixture. Spread in a single layer on baking sheet.
3. Bake. Turn off oven and allow to sit for an additional half hour. Crackers might be lightly brown, but pretty much maintain the same original color.
4. Enjoy. Remove, serve warm or place in an airtight container. Crackers will still good for at least a month if stored properly.

These are also great as a salad topper in place of croutons! Here are some salads they would taste great on:

Of course, I just like them plain as a savory snack for movie night or road trips too. The options are endless!

Storage and Freezing

How to Store

You can store this easy snack recipe in an airtight container at room temperature. No need to refrigerate. They will last for up to one month.

Can I Freeze Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers?

I do not suggest freezing these crackers. Ice crystals may form on the crackers causing them to be soggy once thawed.
