Description

Garlic Butter Ritz Bites are a simple and irresistible treat, perfect for snacking or entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Ritz crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
  3. Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Using a spoon, generously drizzle the garlic butter mixture over each cracker.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are golden and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a twist, try adding shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the crackers before baking for a cheesy garlic bread flavor.
  • Alternatively, you can substitute the parsley with fresh basil for a different herbaceous note.
