Ingredients
-
2 (8.8 oz) boxes cheese Ritz Bits
-
3/4 cup melted butter
-
2 teaspoons garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Prepare Crackers: In a large bowl, pour in the cheese Ritz Bits.
-
Season the Butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
-
Coat the Ritz Bits: Pour the seasoned butter over the Ritz Bits. Toss gently to make sure all of the crackers are evenly coated.
-
Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the coated crackers and toss again to distribute the cheese evenly.
-
Bake: Spread the Ritz Bits in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
-
Cool: Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, as they will crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
These snacks are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
If you prefer a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture.
You can also try different seasoning blends, such as ranch seasoning or smoked paprika, to vary the flavor.
