Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Coating
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Coat the Ritz Bits
- Place the Ritz Bits crackers in a large bowl.
- Pour the butter mixture over the crackers and gently toss to coat every cracker with the buttery garlic goodness. Be sure to do this gently to avoid breaking the crackers!
4. Bake the Crackers
- Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
5. Cool & Serve
- Let the Garlic Bread Ritz Bits cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a snack on their own or pair with dips like ranch, marinara, or even a creamy spinach dip!
Tips & Variations
🔸 Add a Cheesy Twist – Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or shredded mozzarella over the crackers before baking for an extra cheesy flavor.
🔸 Spicy Version – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
🔸 Make It Garlic-ier – Increase the garlic powder to suit your taste if you want an extra punch of garlic.
