Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (8.8 oz) boxes of Ritz crackers
  • 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

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the Ritz crackers into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Pour the seasoned butter over the crackers and toss gently to coat.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese and toss again until evenly distributed.

Notes

  • Use fresh Ritz crackers for the best crunch.
  • Don’t skip the parchment paper—helps prevent burning and sticking.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan adds richer flavor than pre-packaged.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Enhance flavor by adding fresh garlic or red pepper flakes.
