Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag oyster crackers The base of the recipe.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Used to coat the crackers.
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix Gives the crackers their ranch flavor.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix Adds a spicy, savory kick.
  • 1 packet chili lime seasoning mix Provides a zesty twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ranch, taco, and chili lime seasoning mixes until fully blended.
  2. In a larger bowl, pour the vegetable oil over the oyster crackers and stir well to ensure all crackers are coated.
  3. Sprinkle the combined seasoning mix over the oily oyster crackers and toss everything together until the crackers are evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the seasoned crackers evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until they become crispy and golden.
  5. Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Serve up in a festive bowl.

Notes

For variations, consider substituting seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
