Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups Ritz crackers
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crackers.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the Ritz crackers. Pour the melted butter over the crackers, then sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped parsley. Gently toss the crackers until they are evenly coated with the butter and seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the buttered and seasoned crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the crackers to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the snack, as Ritz crackers are already slightly salted.
  • Adjust garlic powder quantity based on your taste preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice color and fresh herbal flavor, but dried parsley can be substituted if necessary.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even crisping of the crackers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
