The seasoning system preferably utilizes linear motion conveyors and either a rotating drum36or a deflector98and a second seasoning unit112, 114between linear conveyors94, 96. Oil may be sprayed onto food products and tumbled in a drum16which both rotates and moves in a reciprocating manner with the conveyor tray14. An improved seasoning tray123, 144, 148has a planar floor122, 138, 162with an angled discharge edge124, 137, 182for uniformly distributing seasoning on the product.
