Seasoned Oyster Crackers – 5 Unique Flavors You’re Sure To Love

Seasoned Oyster Crackers - 5 Unique Flavors You're Sure To Love on MyHumbleHomeandGarden.com
 Plain oyster crackers?  Have you ever had seasoned oyster crackers?  When the kids were still at home, I often made the ‘Ranch and Dill Crackers’, and the kids really enjoyed them.  My son, Will, sent me a text a couple of weeks ago and told me I needed to add that recipe to my website.  That was the catalyst for this post on seasoned oyster crackers.
 
I noticed on Pinterest that there were other flavors of seasoned oyster crackers.  These cracker recipes are so similar and yet changing up the flavors makes them so different!  Hope you enjoy it!

After I made the dill crackers, I noticed an Italian Ritz Bitz – flavored snack on Pinterest.  Hmmm.  That would make a good oyster cracker, too.  That recipe called for vegetable oil. 

Considering this, I thought doesn’t olive oil just make more sense for an Italian version?  A little garlic powder and a little basil seemed to be needed, too.  So, I revised the Italian version a little and I think they turned out pretty dang good.   I might try a little oregano next time, too.  What do you think?

A buffalo oyster cracker version caught my eye but the recipe called for a plain hot sauce.  Doesn’t it make more sense to use ‘Buffalo’ wing sauce? 

I like the dill version.  The Italian version is good but oh, my gosh!  These are my new favorite!  Because of the buffalo sauce, they have to bake a little longer.  After 10 minutes, they were flipped over and we tasted one.  It was soft in the middle and didn’t seem to have much flavor. 

After another 10 minutes, we tasted another.  Okay, a couple more than one but they still were a little mushy in the middle.  I flipped them over with a spatula, one more time.      10 more minutes of baking and they were crunchy, flavorful, and delicious!   These are addictive.

When Dave and I were on vacation last year, we ate shrimp at a fresh fish market in North Carolina.  We were served French fries that were so delicious.  I asked the waitress what the seasoning was on those and she said that they use Old Bay Seasoning!  These crackers remind me of those.

Inexpensive Snack And Appetizer

Truly, I don’t know how these could be any easier.  The oyster crackers we bought were just the generic brand.  Dave bought some of these from the grocery a few weeks ago, to my chagrin.  He said they were out of the name brand.  Okay.

 
Well, I actually think these generic ones taste better!  We have continued to buy them and these were 79 cents a bag!  Talk about inexpensive snack crackers!
 
 
The kids and grandkids have tried these now.  They each seem to have favorites!  The ranch and dill are still a winner.  I think my favorite is the buffalo flavored but they are all good.  Maybe there is a new favorite for you, too.

  1. When making these (for years!) we’ve never baked them….just put it all in a container and gently stirred every 1/2 hour for an hour or two. Always yummy, no oven to heat up👍
