Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 4 cups oyster crackers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Coat the Crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the crackers, tossing gently to coat them evenly.
- Season the Crackers: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the butter-coated crackers, tossing again to ensure that the crackers are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake the Crackers: Spread the seasoned oyster crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the crackers with cooking spray to help the seasoning adhere and prevent them from drying out too much.
- Bake for Crispiness: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately as a delicious snack.
