Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Ritz Crackers – 1 sleeve (about 13.7 oz or 390g)
  • Garlic Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Melted Butter – 4 tablespoons
  • Parmesan Cheese (grated) – 2 tablespoons
  • Dried Parsley – 1 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/8 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Stir in garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
  2. Toss the Ritz Crackers with Seasoning: Place the Ritz crackers into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter mixture over the crackers and gently toss using a spatula or spoon until each cracker is evenly coated with the garlic butter seasoning.
  3. Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick pan. Spread the coated Ritz crackers in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap to allow for even baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Check frequently towards the end to ensure they toast lightly golden and do not burn.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Cooling helps them crisp up further. Serve as desired with optional garnishes or dips.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic powder for the best flavor and potency.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispness.
  • Watch the crackers closely in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
  • Customize the butter with added paprika or smoked salt for extra flavor complexity.
  • Allow crackers to cool before serving for maximum crunch.
