Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ritz crackers
  • 0.5 cup unsalted melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the crackers.
  2. Mix Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the dry ranch seasoning mix and optional garlic powder. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture.
  3. Coat Crackers: Add the Ritz crackers into the bowl and gently toss them until every cracker is evenly coated with the seasoned butter mixture.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, allowing the seasoning to infuse and the crackers to crisp up.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to enhance their crunchiness.

Notes

  • For extra garlic flavor, increase the garlic powder slightly or add garlic salt as preferred.
  • Use unsalted butter to control sodium levels better, especially if using a salted ranch mix.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep crackers crisp.
  • This snack pairs well with dips like ranch dressing or cream cheese-based dips for added indulgence.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if you prefer crackers softer or crispier, but avoid overbaking to prevent burning.
