Weather didn’t permit an outdoor Oyster Roast party, so we compromised and had one indoors.

Here is an easy Oven Oyster Roast recipe that can be baked in the oven for year round entertaining. Easy and Delicious to make.

For New Year’s Eve this year or should I say last year? Oh well, you understand, I hope!

Anyway, we stayed home, made sushi and had an oyster roast. It was raining so we decided to roast the oysters in the oven. They were delicious and so easy to make.

To shell or not to Shell

For this recipe we used Stainless Steel Oyster Trays to bake the oyster’s. We don’t have access to fresh oyster’s this time of the year and due to our location they are hard to find. If you are buying oyster’s in season, you can easily use the real oyster shell for this recipe.

A oven safe Cast Iron Skillet or Dutch Oven are perfect for this recipe.

Rock salt lines the bottom of the pan to secure the shells. These Stainless Steel Oyster Shells work great when you don’t live right on the coast and have fresh oysters at your finger tips.

Oven Oyster Roast – Sauce

Begin by heating the ingredient’s for the sauce in a small sauce pan. See full list of ingredients on the recipe below.

Once the butter has melted, stir in the fresh parsley. Here is another easy appetizer recipe you might enjoy.

Next place an oyster into each shell and pour the sauce evenly over each one.

Prepare the topping

Next, prepare the topping for the Oven Oyster Roast!

Spoon the topping mixture evenly over the top of each oyster.

Place the oyster’s in a preheated oven for approx. 20 minutes.

Delicious Oven Oyster Roast

This is one of my favorite recipes. We have also substituted oysters for fresh lump crab meat and that is very yummy as well.
