Ingredients

  • 1 package (10 oz) oyster crackers
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1½ Tbsp ranch dip mix (14 g, or 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch)
  • 1 tsp dill
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp MSG (Accent, etc.)

Directions

  1. Stir all the seasonings into the oil.
  2. Combine the crackers and seasoned oil — a Ziploc bag works best — and shake to coat evenly.
  3. Microwave the mix for 1 minute, then stir.
  4. Microwave 1 more minute and stir again. Wait a minute, then taste — if they aren’t crispy yet, give them one more round.

  Chef's Tips

A Ziploc bag makes coating the crackers painless. They're done when they're crispy and the flavors pop — one extra minute in the microwave usually gets them there.
