Ingredients
9 cups oyster crackers
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika until fully combined.
3. Add the oyster crackers and gently toss until all crackers are evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
4. Spread crackers in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting.
6. Remove from oven and allow crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Notes
Stir halfway through baking to prevent over-toasting on the edges.
Allow crackers to cool fully before storing to maintain crispness.
For extra spice, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the oil mixture.
