Dill Oyster Cracker Recipe
Description
The Dill Oyster Cracker Recipe combines oyster crackers with fresh minced dill, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and light extra virgin olive oil. The crackers are coated in this herb and spice mixture, then baked at 250°F for 20 minutes and allowed to sit in the turned-off oven for another 20 to 30 minutes. This slow baking process gently flavors the crackers without browning them excessively, preserving their crunch. The dill adds a fresh herbal note that balances the savory garlic and pepper seasoning.
These crackers make a simple, flavorful snack or appetizer. They can be served warm or at room temperature, suitable for casual gatherings or as a side to soups and salads. The preparation is straightforward, requiring just mixing, tossing, and baking, making it easy to make in batches.
Once baked and cooled, the crackers can be stored in an airtight container for about a month without losing their texture or flavor. This makes them convenient to prepare in advance for occasions or everyday nibbling.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces oyster crackers
- 1/3 cup dill minced, fresh
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil light
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean up and to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the dill, garlic powder, pepper, salt and olive oil. Add the oyster crackers and gently toss until all are equally covered in the seasoning. Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake them for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow them to sit for an additional 20-30 minutes. Crackers might be slightly brown, but pretty much maintain the same original color.
- Remove, serve warm or place in an airtight container. Crackers will still good for at least a month if stored properly.
