    Ranch Oyster Crackers

    What happens when you bring an oyster to a party? It becomes a shell-abration! If my joke doesn't get you excited for the perfect party food, then hopefully the ingredient list will! All you need is a packet of ranch dressing mix, oyster crackers, dried dill weed, and a little bit of oil. Mix it all together, pop it into the oven for a few minutes and then you've got the perfect snack!

    Ingredients

    You only need a few simple ingredients and then the party begins! We even included some simple and easy substitutions so if you are on the FODMAP diet, vegan, or dairy free you can enjoy this recipe too! *Contains affiliate links

    Oyster Crackers

    You are welcome to use regular oyster crackers if you are able. They can be found easily at any major retail grocery store. If you are needing gluten free oyster crackers, that can be a lot more difficult. The closest I've been able to find are online. Here are two options I found:

    Gluten Free Oyster Crackers Option 1
    Gluten Free Oyster Crackers Option 2

    I'm hoping some better options come soon for those of us with gluten allergies or intolerances! If you find some, let me know in the comments!

    I also found a recipe to make your own gluten free ranch oyster crackers.

    Oil

    I recommend using canola oil for this recipe. It's a nice thin oil that really works the best for this recipe. In a pinch I've used olive oil, but I would stay away from coconut oil. It's just too thick.

    Dried Dill Weed

    You can find dried dill weed at any major grocery retailer in the spice aisle. To save money, I'll sometimes buy just the amount I need from the bulk section at the grocery or health food store.

    Ranch Seasoning Packet

    You will want to get a ranch seasoning packet for this recipe. Simply Organic has a ranch dressing mix, along with Hidden Valley. For a dairy free ranch seasoning packet, I've seen a few more pop up in stores but generally it's hard to find and I've had to buy them online. For making this recipe vegan or FODMAP friendly you will want to use dairy free ranch seasoning packet.

    Dairy Free Ranch Dressing Mix
    How Much Ranch is in a Packet?

    If you are using dairy free ranch seasoning mix, you will want to use about 2 tablespoons of the dairy free mix to equal one ranch seasoning packet.

    Storing

    After making your mix, you can store it in an airtight container for approximately one week.

    Variations

    If you love this variation but want to try something new, consider making some of these fun variations!

    • Spicy: Add a little heat to your ranch oyster cracker by adding ½ teaspoon cayenne or chili powder or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes to your mix.
    • Taco: Use one tablespoon of taco seasoning and one tablespoon of ranch dressing to make a delicious taco ranch flavored cracker mix!
    Do I Need to Bake the Crackers?

    You don't have to bake the crackers but I do like the flavor better. The crackers get nice and toasted and the oil and seasoning bake onto the crackers better.
