Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ritz Bits crackers (cheese-filled or plain)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional for a hint of spice)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Butter Mixture – In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to create a smooth, flavorful mixture.
  3. Coat the Crackers – Place the Ritz Bits crackers in a large bowl. Pour the butter mixture over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Use a spoon or gently toss with your hands to evenly distribute the seasoning.
  4. Add Parmesan (Optional) – If you want a cheesier flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the crackers and mix again to coat them well.
  5. Bake to Perfection – Spread the seasoned crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the crackers are golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Cool and Serve – Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This helps the flavors set and makes the crackers crispier.
  7. Store Properly – Once completely cool, transfer the garlic bread Ritz Bits to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
