Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box Ritz crackers (about 200 grams / 7 ounces)
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to a low 300F (150C) to ensure gentle, even toasting of the crackers.
- Create a flavor-packed coating by whisking melted butter with aromatic garlic powder, vibrant dried parsley, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
- Carefully spread Ritz crackers across a baking sheet, ensuring they form a single, uniform layer without overlapping.
- Generously coat each cracker with the prepared garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly.
- Sprinkle a delicate layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the butter-coated crackers, adding a rich, savory dimension to the snack.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, watching for a golden, crisp transformation.
- Once achieved, carefully remove the baking sheet and allow the crackers to rest and crisp up for 5 minutes before serving, enhancing their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Keep butter at room temperature for easier mixing and even coating of the crackers.
- Use fresh garlic powder for a more intense and vibrant flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cheese options like pecorino or aged cheddar for unique taste variations.
- Store cooled snacks in an airtight container to maintain crispiness for up to 3 days.
