Oyster Crackers with Dill and Ranch
We love dill pickle everything around here (I’m lookin’ at you ham dill pickle roll ups, dill pickle cheddar cheese chips, and dill pickle dip!)
So naturally I couldn’t resist adding dill flavoring to this ranch oyster crackers recipe – instead of just ranch seasoning, these are oyster crackers made with ranch, dried dill seasoning, and dill pickle juice!
The end result is tangy, savory crackers that are just perfect for enjoying by the handful. If you love dill like we do, you have to try these!
Ingredients Needed
These ranch oyster crackers are made with just a handful of ingredients.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)
- Ranch seasoning – You can use our homemade Ranch seasoning or 1/2 a packet of Hidden Valley.
- Seasonings – Other seasonings in this recipe include dried dill weed, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Butter – Since we’re adding other seasonings, I used unsalted butter for these.
- Dill pickle juice – You can just use juice from a pickle jar.
- Oyster crackers – Be sure to grab plain, not seasoned, oyster crackers.
Seasoned Oyster Cracker Variations
I love the flavor combo of these oyster crackers with dill and ranch but there are so many ways to switch them up.
- Skip the dill. Not a fan of dill? Omit the dried dill and the pickle juice and just stick with the other seasonings. You will need a tad more butter to replace the pickle juice.
- Try Old Bay oyster crackers. Another option is to replace all the seasonings with Old Bay seasoning. These are great served with seafood soups like clam chowder.
- Italian seasoning oyster crackers. Omit the dill and use Italian seasoning instead of ranch for a different flavor.

Serving Suggestions
These dill and ranch oyster crackers are a great snack. We tend to just enjoy them by the handful whenever they’re in the house. Oyster crackers are always great for topping soup and the tangy dill flavor of these would go well with our bacon cheeseburger soup or a cup of clam chowder.
Proper Storage
These seasoned oyster crackers are best eaten within a couple days, but they can be stored on the countertop in an airtight container for up to a week. Just be sure they’ve cooled completely first, to avoid trapping moisture in the container which will cause them to soften up.
