Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8.8 ounces/250 grams) boxes cheese Ritz Bits
- 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Binding Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Transfer cheese Ritz Bits into a spacious mixing vessel, setting it aside for seasoning.
- Create a flavor-infused butter blend by melting butter and incorporating garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until thoroughly combined.
- Drizzle the aromatic butter mixture over the crackers, gently tumbling to ensure uniform coating.
- Generously dust grated parmesan cheese across the crackers, stirring to distribute the savory topping evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned crackers in a single, flat layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, watching for a golden, crisp transformation that signals perfect doneness.
- Extract from the oven and allow complete cooling before transferring to an airtight storage container to maintain crispness.
Notes
- Customize the seasoning by adjusting the garlic and onion powder to match your taste preferences.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper into the butter mixture.
- Ensure crackers are evenly coated by gently tossing with a spatula or shaking the bowl to distribute the butter and cheese.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain crispiness and flavor.
