Notes
- Serving suggestions: Serve crunchy oyster crackers as a snack, party appetizer, salad, soup, or chili topper. They make a great substitute for croutons.
- Storage: Seasoned oyster crackers taste best eaten immediately but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cool before covering them.
- Variations: Add cayenne pepper for a kick. Start with ¼ teaspoon, and increase to taste. Swap the seasoning mixture for my homemade ranch seasoning or Cajun seasoning.
