Ingredients for Garlic Ritz Snacks
- 1 box of Ritz crackers (the classic buttery ones that make this snack irresistible)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (this is what gives them that delicious richness)
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder (feel free to adjust based on your garlic love!)
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley (for a pop of color and fresh herb flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (just enough to enhance those amazing flavors)
How to Prepare Garlic Ritz Snacks
Getting these Garlic Ritz Snacks ready is as easy as pie! First, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures they bake perfectly while you prepare the rest. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt. Give it a good stir until it’s all mixed up and smells heavenly! Next, spread the Ritz crackers out on a baking sheet—don’t overcrowd them, or they won’t get that nice crunch. Now, brush your buttery garlic mixture over each cracker, making sure to coat them evenly. Bake them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they turn a lovely golden brown. Once you take them out, let them cool for a few minutes before diving in. They’ll be warm, crispy, and ready to be devoured!
