Vegan ranch oyster crackers with dill are baked to golden brown perfection and bursting with bold flavors in every bite. These seasoned crackers are ready in 30 minutes and are a great party appetizer, game day snack, or holiday gift.
This savory snack mix was gifted to us by a neighbor last year and since then it's been my mission to make a dairy free version. If you're a salty snack lover like me, you'll love my dill oyster crackers snack recipe! You'll need crispy crackers, ranch seasoning, vegetable oil, and dried dill - that's it. You could also use this same method with pretzels, saltines, or even popcorn.

What you'll need
Grab just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry to make this flavorful snack!
- Oyster crackers: These bite-sized little crackers are often used as a salad topper or enjoyed on top of a bowl of soup. They're light, airy, and crunchy.
- Ranch seasoning: If you're also dairy free, be sure to choose a ranch seasoning packet without milk. Double check labels, as some contain buttermilk. I use the Fody brand from Thrive Market since it's nearly half the price than what my local grocery stores sell it for.
- Dried dill: A little dill weed adds brightness and extra flavor!
- Oil: Some people make their seasoned oyster crackers with melted butter but I suggest using vegetable oil or olive oil.
How to make dill oyster crackers
Start by preheating the oven to 250°F. Grab a large bowl and combine all of the ingredients together. Gently stir with a rubber spatula, making sure each cracker is perfectly coated with the seasoned oil. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, toss, then bake for another 10 minutes, until the oil is dried and the crackers are starting to brown.
They may not need the full bake time since they're already cooked, so keep a close eye on them. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing. Transfer to an airtight container or resealable bag and store at room temp for up to 1 month.
Variations
Switch up the seasoning to make these little bites your own!
- Spicy: Add 1-2 tablespoons red pepper flakes for some heat.
- Savory: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce for a tangy taste.
- Fresh herbs: Use 1 tablespoon of fresh dill instead of dried.
- Other seasonings: Use everything but the bagel seasoning, old bay, lemon pepper, taco seasoning, or your favorite seasoning mix!
