Ingredients
Scale
Snack Base
- 2 packages (10 oz each) oyster crackers
Seasoning Mix
- ¾ cup canola oil
- 1 package (1.25 oz) taco seasoning
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ tablespoon chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for a slow, even bake that crisps the crackers without burning.
- Prepare Crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there is enough space to coat them thoroughly with the seasoning mixture.
- Mix Seasoning: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canola oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chili powder until well combined to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Coat Crackers: Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the oyster crackers and mix thoroughly, making sure each cracker is completely coated with the spice mix for consistent flavor.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the coated crackers evenly on two large baking sheets with sides. This allows heat to circulate and the crackers to bake evenly without sticking.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring them once at the 10-minute mark to ensure even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Cool and Store: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage to keep them fresh and crunchy.
Notes
- To customize flavor and spice level, try different taco seasoning packets according to your taste.
- Add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix for an extra spicy kick and enhanced flavor.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
