Description

Holiday Ritz Crackers are a delightful, savory snack perfect for festive occasions or casual gatherings. These crispy crackers are coated in a flavorful blend of melted butter, ranch seasoning, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder, then baked to golden perfection. Easy to prepare and irresistibly addictive, they make a wonderful appetizer or party treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crackers

  • 1 box Ritz crackers (about 32–36 crackers)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (around 1 ounce)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to simplify cleanup.
  2. Arrange Crackers: Lay the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even coating and baking.
  3. Prepare Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch dressing mix, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Coat Crackers: Spoon or brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over each cracker, making sure every piece is well coated with the flavorful topping.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers turn golden and the topping looks lightly bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the crackers to cool for at least 5 minutes on the tray so they crisp up perfectly before serving. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • These crackers are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Make sure to let the crackers cool completely to maximize crispiness.
  • You can customize the seasoning by swapping ranch mix for other spice blends if desired.
