Garlic Bread Ritz Bits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Ritz Bits Cheese Crackers (or similar mini cheese crackers)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: a pinch of Italian seasoning or grated Parmesan for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and any optional seasonings like Italian seasoning or Parmesan.
3. Coat the Crackers: Place the Ritz Bits in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter over them and gently toss until they are evenly coated.
4. Add the Seasoning: Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the buttered crackers and toss again to ensure even coverage.
5. Bake: Spread the crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10–15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the crackers are golden and crispy.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
