    After 35 minutes, the Parmesan Garlic Oyster Crackers were golden brown and perfectly crisp. I let them cool completely on the baking sheet and then stored them in an airtight container.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why are the crackers called oyster crackers?

    With a name like oyster crackers, you might think that they are made with oysters. However, there are no oysters in oyster crackers. Historically, oyster cracker which were developed in the early 1800’s were served with seafood soups and chowders. No one knows for sure, but one likely reason for the name was that they were often served with oyster stew.

    What do oyster crackers taste like?

    Oyster crackers are somewhat bland and taste like saltine crackers, but with less salt.

    What other ways can oyster crackers be seasoned?

    Because oyster crackers are bland, they are a perfect base for different types of savory seasonings like ranch, taco, cheese, Italian, etc. They can also be combined with caramel to produce a sweet snack.

    How many cups are in a 9-ounce package of oyster crackers.

    A 9-ounce package of oyster crackers contains 4 cups.
