How to Make Garlic Bread Ritz Bits
1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture
- In a bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove.
- Add the garlic powder (or minced garlic if you’re using fresh garlic), parsley, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir to combine.
- Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
2. Coat the Ritz Bits
- Place the Ritz Bits crackers in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the crackers and gently stir to coat each cracker evenly. Be careful not to break them!
3. Bake for Extra Crispiness
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the coated Ritz Bits in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as they cook quickly!
4. Cool and Serve
- Allow the Garlic Bread Ritz Bits to cool slightly before serving. The crackers will become even crispier as they cool.
- Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
