- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Crackers: Place the oyster crackers in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the crackers and toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Mix Seasoning: In a separate small bowl, combine the taco seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, dried parsley, coarse ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly blended.
- Coat Crackers: Sprinkle or pour the seasoning mixture over the oiled crackers. Toss the crackers carefully to make sure each one is fully coated with the seasoning blend.

Notes
- Ensure crackers are evenly coated with oil and seasoning for the best flavor and crispiness.
- Shake or stir the air fryer basket halfway during cooking for even crisping.
- Allow crackers to cool completely to maximize crisp texture before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar slightly or omit it.
