Why You Will Love This Recipe

Oyster crackers are typically used for soups, chilis, or chowders but they can also make a great savory snack. These are so simple to make and only require a bowl for mixing the seasonings, crackers, and oil together. Then you pour them on a baking sheet and toast them up in the oven. The oyster crackers will add an extra layer of flavor to your bowl of chili or soup. 

If you are looking for other uses for these flavorful crackers, serve them in a small tiny dish and set them on a charcuterie board during the Holidays or any party for snacking.

Ingredients for Seasoned Oyster Crackers

Oyster Crackers   - If you don’t like oyster crackers try saltine crackers or pretzels. This is very similar to making Party Chex Mix in the oven. Add whatever you like to the crackers. 

Lemon Pepper Seasoning - Lemon pepper seasoning is a blend of crushed black peppercorns and dried lemon zest.

Garlic Powder -  Is made from dehydrated garlic cloves and like the chili powder above it gets pulverized into a powder or flour consistency.

Dried Dill - Dried dill is a spice made from the leaves of the dill plant that have been dried and then crushed or ground into a powder.

Vegetable Oil   -  This helps the crackers get extra toasty. 

See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

How to Make Seasoned Oyster Crackers 

Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the seasoning packet, dill weed, vegetable oil, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Add oyster crackers, and toss to coat.

Step 2: Line an air fryer basket with parchment paper and spread the crackers on the bottom of the basket.

Step 3: Air Fry for 5 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring gently after 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool before serving. 

What can I use oyster crackers for?

Oyster crackers are great for toppings on soups. Try them on my Knoephla Soup Recipe, Easy 5 Ingredient Tomato Blender Soup Recipe, or Easy Clam Chowder Recipe.

They are also great on Crock Pot Turkey Chili or Slow Cooker Beef Stew.

Best Air Fryer Tips

The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer steak, air fryer hard-boiled eggs, and air fryer bacon. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use it chicken quesadillas.

Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through. 

Use a spray oil such as Pam to get food extra crispy and to save on calories.  

Use parchment paper on the bottom of your air fryer for easy clean up.
