Ingredients
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt if desired. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Arrange Crackers: Place the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Coat Crackers: Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat the tops of each cracker with the garlic butter mixture to infuse rich flavor.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they become golden and fragrant, indicating they are perfectly toasted.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- These snacks are great served warm or at room temperature, making them versatile for any occasion.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture before coating the crackers.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
