Main Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 4 sleeves Ritz crackers
-
Seasonings & Cheese
- 1 ounce powder ranch seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded or shaved
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second increments until fully melted. Set aside.
- Mix the Crackers and Flavorings: In a large mixing bowl, add the Ritz crackers, ranch seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and pour in the melted butter. Gently toss and fold the ingredients together so the crackers are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the coated crackers onto a sheet pan in a single layer, making sure the crackers are not touching as much as possible for even baking.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. About halfway through baking, use a spatula to toss the crackers lightly for even crisping.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the pan before serving. This helps them set and ensures maximum crunch.
Notes
- For best results, let the crackers cool completely to retain their crispiness.
- Store leftover crackers in an airtight container for up to one week.
- You can experiment by adding garlic powder or herbs for a different flavor profile.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the sheet pan, or the crackers may not crisp evenly.
