These seasoned oyster crackers are easy to make. The recipe is a variation of ranch crackers but uses a blend of spices instead of a packet of ranch dressing mix. For a spicy version, add cayenne pepper.

Remove the melted butter from the heat and stir in the dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder, dried dill, and cayenne pepper (if using). Pour mixture over the crackers and stir to combine. If the seasoning clumps, stir gently to break up the clumps.
