Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box Ritz crackers
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 gram) dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) salt
Instructions
- Transform the kitchen into a warm culinary workspace by calibrating the oven temperature precisely to 300°F (150°C), ensuring an optimal environment for crispy cracker preparation.
- Craft a luscious aromatic coating by whisking melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, and a delicate touch of salt in a mixing vessel, creating a harmonious flavor infusion.
- Meticulously spread Ritz crackers across a baking sheet, positioning them in a uniform single layer to guarantee consistent flavor distribution and even heating.
- Apply the fragrant butter mixture generously across each cracker’s surface using a culinary brush, ensuring complete and thorough coverage for maximum taste absorption.
- Elegantly dust the butter-coated crackers with a delicate sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the dairy’s tangy essence to complement the garlic’s robust profile.
- Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the crackers to transform for approximately 10 minutes until they achieve a golden, crisp exterior with irresistible aromatic notes.
- Extract the baking sheet from the oven and permit the garlic-infused crackers to rest and stabilize for 5 minutes, enabling their texture to set and flavors to harmonize before serving.
Notes
- Choose high-quality Ritz crackers for the best texture and flavor.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary or thyme to customize the snack.
- Use fresh garlic powder for a more intense and authentic garlic flavor.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven’s heat distribution to prevent burning.
