Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box Ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon (3 grams) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300F (150C), positioning the rack in the center for even heating.
- Create a flavorful coating by whisking melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt in a small mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Spread Ritz crackers in a uniform single layer across a clean baking sheet, ensuring no crackers overlap.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each cracker with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered crackers, allowing the cheese to adhere to the butter.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, watching for a golden and crisp transformation.
- Once crackers reach a perfect golden hue, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snacks rest for 5 minutes to set and cool slightly.
- Serve the crispy, garlicky Ritz snacks warm as an irresistible appetizer or quick bite.
Notes
- Swap regular butter with olive oil for a healthier version that still delivers rich flavor and crispy texture.
- Create gluten-free alternative by using gluten-free crackers instead of traditional Ritz, perfect for those with dietary restrictions.
- Layer extra Parmesan cheese for more intense savory notes, ensuring each cracker gets maximum cheesy goodness.
- Control garlic intensity by adjusting powder amount – start with less and gradually increase to match personal taste preferences.
