Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 30–35 crackers)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- (Optional) 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes (do not brown).
- Place the crackers in a large bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter over them and toss gently to coat each cracker evenly.
- Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until crackers are golden and crisp.
- Cool slightly before serving for maximum crunch.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
