Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ritz Bits crackers (plain, or with cheese if you like a cheesy garlic flavor)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prepare the Seasoned Butter:
    • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, dried basil, and salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Coat the Crackers:
    • Place the Ritz Bits crackers in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoned butter over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly.
    • If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the crackers and toss again.
  4. Bake:
    • Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the crackers are golden and crisp. Be careful not to over-bake, as they can burn quickly.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
