Seasoning & Oil
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 packs ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the snack mix evenly and to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Combine Dry Mix: In a large bowl, add the pretzels, goldfish crackers, and oyster crackers. Stir gently to combine all the snacks evenly without breaking them.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing seasoning mix, dill weed, lemon pepper seasoning, and garlic powder until fully combined to create a flavorful coating.
- Toss Snacks with Seasoning: Slowly drizzle the seasoned oil mixture over the dry snack mix while stirring to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the zesty ranch flavors.
- Spread and Bake: Spread the coated snack mix out onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even baking.
- Cool and Store: Remove the snack mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage to maintain freshness.
