Description
If you’re looking for an easy and flavorful snack, these Baked Seasoned Ritz Crackers are the perfect choice!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sleeves Ritz crackers (about 60 crackers)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (60g)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika for extra flavor)
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Seasoning Mix
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Coat the Crackers
- Place the Ritz crackers in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the crackers.
- Gently toss until all crackers are evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange and Bake
- Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use Fresh Crackers: Stale crackers won’t crisp up as well.
- Don’t Overload with Butter: A light coating ensures they stay crunchy, not soggy.
- Flip Halfway Through Baking: For an extra crispy texture, turn the crackers over at the 5-minute mark.
