Garlic Ritz Snacks
These Garlic Ritz Snacks are an irresistible, savory treat that combine the buttery crispness of Ritz crackers with the bold flavor of garlic and Parmesan. Easy to make, they’re perfect for a quick snack or a delightful appetizer at any gathering. Here’s how to make these tasty bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 box Ritz crackers (classic, buttery flavor)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (for richness and to coat the crackers)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for that savory garlic kick)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (adds a touch of herbal freshness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance the flavors)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adds a sharp, salty finish)
Directions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C), ensuring it’s fully heated before you start baking.
-
Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined and the garlic powder is fully dissolved in the butter.
-
Arrange the Crackers:
- Lay out the Ritz crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can line the sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup if you prefer.
-
Brush with Garlic Butter:
- Using a brush or spoon, brush each cracker with the garlic butter mixture. Be generous to ensure the crackers are evenly coated with the garlic and butter for the best flavor.
-
Sprinkle with Parmesan:
- Once all the crackers are brushed, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. The cheese will melt slightly during baking and give the crackers a wonderful, savory crust.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they don’t burn.
-
Cool and Serve:
- After baking, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. This allows them to crisp up even more before serving.
