Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 32 crackers)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Coat the crackers: Place Ritz crackers in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over them and gently toss until fully coated.
- Arrange and bake: Spread crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Cool and enjoy: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. The crackers will continue to crisp as they cool.
Notes
Use garlic powder for a milder flavor or fresh garlic for a stronger kick. Try adding crushed red pepper for spice or ranch seasoning for a fun twist. Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
