Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.

Ingredients

　　3/4 cup vegetable oil

　　a 1-ounce package powdered ranch salad dressing mix

　　1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

　　an 11-ounce package oyster crackers (about 6 cups)

　　In a large bowl whisk together oil, dressing mix, and lemon pepper seasoning. Add oyster crackers and toss until coated well. Spread oyster crackers on a double thickness of paper towels to absorb excess oil and let stand 30 minutes. Transfer crackers to an airtight container and let stand at room temperature at least 8 hours (to develop flavor) and up to 1 week.
