Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ritz crackers
  • 0.5 cup unsalted melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the crackers at a low temperature, ensuring an even crisp without burning.
  2. Mix Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the dry ranch seasoning mix and garlic powder, stirring thoroughly to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat Crackers: Add the Ritz crackers to the bowl and gently toss them until each cracker is evenly coated with the butter and seasoning mixture, making sure not to break the crackers.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving, which helps them crisp up further.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness and crispiness.
  • These crackers are perfect for parties, game days, or anytime you want a quick, homemade snack.
  • For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika in the seasoning mix.
