Create Your Own Seasoned Crackers

I’m back with another quick and easy after school snack! I don’t know about you, but my two boys come home from school HANGRY! It’s like they’re both having a growth spurt at the same time! I can barely keep up with them! To save myself a little money and serve them something a little different, I decided to make my own flavored crackers. Sure you can buy all kinds of pre-flavored crackers at the store, but that gets pricey! With these little snacks, I can pick and choose what I want to season them with. They’re so easy, my boys can make them on the weekend! Pick up a few bags of oyster soup crackers next time you’re at the Commissary and I’ll show you how to make them!

Ingredients:

• 1 Oyster Crackers Bag (per flavor)
• 1-2 Tablespoons dry seasoning or herb blend
• 2-3 Tablespoons of oil

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place parchment paper on your baking sheets.
• Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
• Spread the cracker mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
• Allow to cool and serve.

Notes:

• I made three different flavors: Old Bay, Cheesy Pizza, and Cinnamon Sugar!
• You can use Canola or Light Olive Oil. Anything light, even Coconut Oil would work well!
• Using parchment paper to make clean up a breeze!
• If you find the seasoning isn’t sticking as well, add another tablespoon of oil.
• My youngest LOVES cheese pizza so I added a tablespoon of parmesan cheese with the Italian seasoning.
• My oldest LOVES spicy foods so I made him a batch with Old Bay (cajun seafood) seasoning.
• They both love sweets, so the cinnamon sugar crackers are for them to share.
• These yummilicious crackers can be stored in a air tight plastic bag on the counter, if they last that long!
• The oyster crackers are, of course, already crunchy, but baking them takes them to a whole other level! They’re crispier, crunchier, and the flavors are phenomenal!

Next time, I’m making ranch and taco seasoned crackers. YUM! The best part, you can still use the flavored crackers for your soup! You should try this recipe today!
