Ingredients
-
1 (12 oz) box oyster crackers – the crunchy base that soaks up all the buttery, cheesy goodness
-
¾ cup butter, melted – gives the crackers richness and helps the seasoning stick
-
½ cup everything bagel seasoning – the star of the show: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt
-
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese – adds a savory, nutty flavor and extra crunch
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
2. Make the Flavor Coating
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, everything bagel seasoning, and grated Parmesan until smooth and well combined. This mixture is what transforms ordinary crackers into a snack bursting with flavor.
3. Coat the Crackers
Add the oyster crackers to the bowl and gently toss them until every single cracker is evenly coated with the buttery, cheesy seasoning mixture. Take your time—every bite should be perfectly seasoned.
4. Arrange for Baking
Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t stacked or overlapping, so they bake evenly and get that golden, crispy texture.
5. Bake to Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on them toward the end—they should be golden brown and crisp, with a tantalizing aroma that will make your mouth water.
6. Cool Completely
Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This step ensures they stay crispy rather than soggy.
7. Serve and Store
Transfer your Everything Bagel Bits to a bowl or airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for several days—if they last that long!
