Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
- Arrange Crackers: Spread the Ritz crackers out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful spread.
- Coat Crackers: Using a pastry brush, generously apply the garlic butter mixture onto the top of each Ritz cracker, making sure each one is well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Crackers: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the crackers halfway through baking and brush the bottoms with remaining garlic butter mixture.
- Feel free to add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 2 days.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
