Crackers
- 2 packages oyster crackers (10 oz each)
Seasoning Mix
- ¾ cup canola oil
- 1 package taco seasoning (1.25 oz)
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ tablespoon chili powder
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the seasoned crackers at a low temperature.
- Prepare Crackers: Place all the oyster crackers into a large mixing bowl to create the base for the seasoning.
- Mix Seasoning: In a separate bowl, whisk together the canola oil, taco seasoning packet, garlic powder, dried oregano, and chili powder until well combined.
- Coat Crackers: Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the oyster crackers. Stir and mix thoroughly until every cracker is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
- Bake Crackers: Spread the coated crackers evenly in two large baking sheets with sides to prevent spilling. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once at the 10-minute mark to ensure even cooking.
- Cool and Store: After baking, allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- For best results, stir the crackers halfway through baking to promote even seasoning and crispiness.
- You can adjust the amount of chili powder to control the level of heat according to your preference.
- Store the crackers in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to 1 week.
- These crackers make a great party snack or a flavorful addition to a snack mix.
