These seasoned oyster crackers are a legendary party snack—highly addictive, perfectly savory, and guaranteed to disappear within minutes. With a buttery, garlicky crunch and a punch of everything bagel seasoning, they are incredibly simple to make and a massive crowd-pleaser for any gathering.
📋 Ingredients
The Base: 1 box (12 oz) oyster crackers
The Coating: ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted
The Seasoning: ½ cup everything bagel seasoning blend
The Secret Kick: ⅓ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
🥣 Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent any sticking and ensure an easy cleanup.
Step 2: Butter the Crackers
Empty the entire box of oyster crackers into a large mixing bowl. Slowly pour the melted butter over the top, then use a large spoon or rubber spatula to gently toss them until every single cracker is completely glistening and evenly coated in butter.
Step 3: Add the Flavor Blast
Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning and the grated parmesan cheese over the buttery crackers. Give the bowl another thorough, gentle toss until the seasoning clings evenly to the crackers.
Step 4: Spread and Bake
Transfer the coated crackers onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into a single, flat layer so they can crisp up properly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, gently tossing or flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure they brown evenly.
Step 5: Cool and Store
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely right on the tray. As they cool, the butter dries and the seasoning creates a crispy, delicious shell. Serve them up in a large bowl, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week to keep that ultimate crunch!
