Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Pour 4 tablespoons (60g) melted unsalted butter into a mixing bowl and add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes if you want some heat.
- Whisk the butter and spices together until your mixture looks smooth and fully integrated.
- Carefully arrange 60 Ritz crackers in a single layer across a large baking sheet, ensuring no crackers overlap.
- Brush each cracker generously with the seasoned butter mixture, making certain every surface gets coated evenly.
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and position the rack in the center of the oven.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through to ensure consistent seasoning and crispness.
- Remove the crackers when they appear slightly darker and feel crisp to the touch.
- Let the seasoned crackers cool completely on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, which helps them become extra crunchy.
- Transfer to a serving plate or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Brush the butter mixture generously but evenly to ensure each cracker gets maximum flavor coverage.
- Let crackers cool completely after baking so they crisp up and develop a satisfying crunch.
- For a gluten-free version, swap standard Ritz crackers for gluten-free crackers from brands like Schar or Glutino.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their crisp texture.
