Garlic Bread Ritz Bits Recipe

Ingredients

1 box (12 oz) Ritz Bits (original or cheese flavor)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra garlic flavor)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for added richness)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture:

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well.

3. Coat the Ritz Bits:

Place the Ritz Bits in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the crackers and gently toss until evenly coated.

4. Bake to Perfection:

Spread the coated Ritz Bits in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly toasted and fragrant. Be careful not to overbake, as they can burn quickly.

5. Add Parmesan (Optional):

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the warm Ritz Bits as soon as they come out of the oven.

6. Cool and Serve:

Let the Garlic Bread Ritz Bits cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Garlic Bread Ritz Bits

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
For extra richness, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
