Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to make Garlic Bread Ritz Crackers—a buttery, garlicky, cheesy snack that’s perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
- 1 sleeve of Ritz crackers (about 30 crackers)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, if your butter is unsalted
-
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and salt (if using). Stir well to combine. - Coat the Crackers
Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry brush (or a spoon) to evenly coat each cracker with the garlic butter mixture. - Add the Parmesan
Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of each cracker for that cheesy, golden-brown finish. - Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and the cheese is melted. - Cool and Serve
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or side dishTips:
- Extra Crispy? For a crunchier result, bake an additional 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Upgrade with Toppings! Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, or a dash of Italian seasoning for more herb flavor.
- Make Ahead: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness
