Easy Munchie Ranch Oyster Cracker Recipe

These munchie ranch oyster crackers are so simple, so nostalgic, and so wildly addicting that I can never make just one batch. They come together quickly with just a few ingredients, making them the perfect easy munchie everyone grabs by the handful.

Why I love these seasoned crackers so much!

Do you like to nibble?  I have a nibbler in my house.  Her name is Cece.  If I let her she would never eat a whole meal, she would just graze morning, noon, and night.  She’s a salty snack lover, popcorn, fishy crackers, pretzels. I find them all over my house in little cups and bowls.  This winter one of the volleyball moms brought a bag of these crackers to a tournament.  I think Cece ate nearly the whole bag.  I couldn’t keep her out of it.  “Mom you NEED to get the recipe from Miss Christine for that yummy cracker stuff!”  she pestered.  Finally I remembered to ask Christine for the recipe, she chuckled.   Well it’s really hard, she said,  I’ll write it down for you.  Like the sweetheart that she is, she did write it down and remembered it the next day.  “We call it Munchies.”  she said. So that’s why we call these seasoned oyster crackers munchies. My mom also made a variation of this snack with butter and various seasonings. She also would add mini pretzels to the mix. She would whip them up for famly gatherings or long road trips. This recipe uses olive oil and comes together so easy. You might as well plan on making a double batch.

There’s my muncher sneaking crackers off the sheet hot out of the oven!!

Gather these ingredients

How to make Munchie Crackers

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

In a small bowl combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and dill weed. Whisk this together.

Pour oyster crackers into a large bowl and pour the seasoning mix over the crackers, as you drizzle mix the crackers with a spatula to ensure all the crackers get evenly coated with the ranch seasoning mix.

Pour out the coated crackers onto a large baking sheet. Spread out in a single layer. Some of the crackers can overlap but try to get an even layer. Place crackers in your preheated oven, baking time is 15 minutes!  Let cool and store in an airtight Zip-loc bag.

Tips & Variations

• Butter – If you prefer you can swap the olive oil out for melted butter. Use 1 stick or 1/2 cup melted butter.
• Seasonings – This recipe is so easy to customize. I have, for the sake of halitosis, reduced the amount of garlic powder, but you could add more if you prefer. Lemon pepper, cayenne pepper, fresh ground black pepper, add all the peppers if you like. Swap out the ranch and dill for taco seasoning.
• Add Ins – My mom used to add mini pretzels to her munchie cracker mix. You could add popped popcorn as well.
• Storage – After your ranch crackers cool, store them in an airtight container like a zip-loc zipper bag or a mason jars work really well and it look cute on your counter!
