Main Ingredients
- 1 package Ritz Bits sandwich crackers (Cheese-filled variety is classic.)
- 1/2 cup Butter (Melted.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced or use garlic powder.)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan (Grated, freshly grated is better.)
- 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese (Finely shredded or a cheese blend.)
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Adjust depending on the flavor of Ritz Bits.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika (Optional.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper (Optional for heat.)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (Optional for garnish.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic (or garlic powder), black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Add the Ritz Bits and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan and shredded cheddar, then toss again to ensure even coating.
- Spread the crackers in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for approximately 8 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until crispy and dry.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving, as they will become crispier.
Notes
For extra crispiness, use an air fryer set at 300°F for 4-6 minutes. If serving later, store in an airtight container but best consumed within 24 hours.
