Number Of Ingredients 6

Full box regular Ritz crackers
8 tablespoons (1 stick) of melted, unsalted butter
One package Ranch Seasoning mix
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Here you take a full box of regular Ritz crackers and toss them in 8 tablespoons (1 stick) of melted, unsalted butter. In a separate bowl, combine one package Ranch Seasoning mix, 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - stirring to combine. Shake over buttered crackers and gently stir to coat crackers in mixture. Place on a half sheet pan and bake in a 300°F oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right crackers: Ritz crackers are the classic choice for this recipe, but you can also use other types of crackers, such as Triscuits, Wheat Thins, or Town House crackers.
  • Use fresh, zesty ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the flavor of the crackers will be. Use lemons and limes that are ripe and juicy, and zest them just before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the crackers, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If they are too crowded, they will not bake evenly.
  • Watch the crackers closely while baking: The crackers will bake quickly, so it is important to watch them closely to prevent them from burning.
  • Let the crackers cool completely: Once the crackers are baked, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to crisp up and develop their full flavor.
