Garlic Bread Ritz Bits

Let’s dive into how to make these buttery, garlicky bites with simple ingredients and minimal effort!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Ritz crackers (whole, not crushed)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Coat the Crackers

  • In a large bowl, add the whole Ritz crackers.
  • Pour the melted butter over the crackers and gently toss to coat evenly.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Toss again to ensure each cracker is fully coated with buttery, garlicky goodness.

Step 3: Add the Cheese

  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the crackers and toss again.
  • The cheese will stick to the buttery coating, creating a delicious, cheesy crust.

Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

  • Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the cheese is slightly golden and the crackers are extra crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes (they will crisp up even more as they cool).

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or crunchy side dish.

Enjoy your Garlic Bread Ritz Bits with soups, salads, or just on their own for a ridiculously tasty treat!
