Zesty Oyster Crackers

Maybe it’s a Midwest thing, but everyone I know grew up with savory baked oyster cracker snacks. They were usually seasoned with dill and onion powder, but I remember loving them as a kid.

It has been a long time since I have had this easy and affordable snack, but I decided to whip out this oldie and give it a zesty taco twist in the Air Fryer.

3/4 cup oil vegetable, canola, avocado or grapeseed will work well

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 Tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 Tablespoon cumin

1 Tablespoon chili powder

Steps

Place the oyster crackers in a large bowl, and coat with the olive oil. In a separate small bowl, mix all of the spices until well blended. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mixture over the crackers.

Toss the crackers in the spices until they’re completely coated. Place the coated crackers in the Air Fryer basket, and cook for 8 minutes, at 350 degrees.

Spread the crackers over a parchment paper lined counter and allow to cool to room temperature. Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container or re-sealable bag.
