I originally made Garlic Dill Oyster Crackers to top a steaming bowl of Tomato Soup, but before my soup was even done (let alone served), I had already snacked the entire batch.
Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers are the perfect snack, soup topper or salad crouton. They add an extra touch to any dish and are so easy to make and store!
Many of my recipes are developed out of having leftover ingredients and needing to use them creatively. I love cooking with dill, but I rarely end up needing the entire bunch I end up buying.

I’d seen people make ranch oyster crackers before, but I’m not the biggest fan of ranch seasoning, so I decided to try my hand at Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers.
The verdict: these darn things are delicious! I loved them.
While I had intended them for my a steaming bowl of Easy Chili, I munched on the entire thing and ended up having to make a new batch.
Why are they called oyster crackers? Because they were originally made to be a less salty saltine cracker for serving with oyster stew and oyster bisque.
They also happen to be shaped like an oyster shell, however I was unable to figure any history as to why they are shaped this way.
Dill Seasoned Oyster Crackers are now a staple at my house. They store well in an airtight container in the pantry and can be used as croutons, snacks and or atop a soup.

Can I use granulated garlic instead of garlic powder? You can, but beware than the granules are larger and it might change the texture of the seasoning mixture.
Can I use dried dill instead of fresh dill? Sure! But be mindful that dried spices tend to not be as flavorful and do expire. Dried dill will only be at maximum taste for 6 months after opening.
PRO TIP: Use 1 teaspoon of dried spices and herbs for every 1 tablespoon of fresh.
Try rubbing dried dill between your palms before adding to the mixing bowl to release natural oils.
Can I use vegetable oil instead of olive oil? Yes, in fact there is really no particular reason why I used olive oil in this recipe.
Use whatever flavor of oil you’d like. You can even use flavored oil if it will complement your recipe or bowl of soup.
What do you do with oyster crackers? Anything you’d like! Snack on them, top a bowl of soup, use them as croutons.
