Baked Old Bay Oyster Crackers Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups oyster crackers
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt to taste (optional, as Old Bay already contains salt)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Season the Crackers:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil (or melted butter), Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Mix well.
- Add the oyster crackers to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake:
- Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the crackers are crispy and golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of Old Bay seasoning to suit your taste. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Variations: Experiment with other seasonings like ranch powder, Italian seasoning, or taco seasoning for different flavor profiles.
- Serving Ideas: These crackers are great on their own, as a topping for soups or salads, or as a party snack.
