- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by setting the temperature to 300°F (150°C), creating an ideal baking atmosphere for crispy crackers.
- Craft a flavor-infused butter mixture by whisking together melted butter, aromatic garlic powder, vibrant dried parsley, and a pinch of salt in a compact mixing vessel.
- Transform a baking sheet into a precise cracker landscape, meticulously positioning Ritz crackers in a uniform single layer.
- Elevate each cracker’s potential by generously applying the garlic butter concoction using a culinary brush, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Enhance the crackers’ savory profile by sprinkling a delicate layer of grated Parmesan cheese across the butter-glazed surface.
- Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the crackers to transform for approximately 10 minutes until they achieve a golden, crisp perfection.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and permit the crackers to rest and stabilize for 5 minutes, allowing their texture to settle.
- Present these delectable morsels as an irresistible snack or appetizer, ready to delight taste buds with their crisp texture and rich flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize the heat by adjusting garlic powder for milder or stronger flavor profiles.
- Transform into gluten-free version by using gluten-free crackers or almond flour-based crackers.
- Enhance cheese variety by mixing Parmesan with sharp cheddar or adding smoked gouda for deeper taste complexity.
- Store leftovers in airtight container to maintain crispiness, reheating briefly in oven to restore crunch.
