Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 2 (8.8 oz) boxes cheese Ritz Bits
Seasoning Mix
- 3/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the cheese Ritz Bits crackers into a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to the bowl.
- Coat Crackers: Mix all ingredients thoroughly to evenly coat each cracker with the buttery, cheesy, and seasoned mixture.
- Bake: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, tossing the crackers halfway through baking to ensure they crisp up evenly.
- Cool and Store: Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag to maintain their freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Ensure the crackers are evenly coated for balanced flavor.
- Tossing halfway through baking helps to brown them evenly and avoid burning.
- Let the crackers cool fully before storing to retain their crispiness.
- Use either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
