Ingredients

Crackers

  • 3 sleeves Ritz crackers

Seasoning Mix

  • 6 tablespoons butter (or a vegan alternative), melted
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crackers evenly.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried parsley, red pepper flakes if using, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly to create the flavorful coating.
  3. Coat Crackers: Gently toss the Ritz crackers in the seasoning mixture ensuring each cracker is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread the coated crackers out in a single layer on two large baking sheets, making sure the crackers do not overlap to ensure even baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Halfway through baking, turn the crackers over to allow them to bake evenly on both sides.
  6. Cool and Store: Once the crackers reach a golden hue and are crisp, remove from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based butter alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheets to ensure even crisping of crackers.
  • Stir the crackers gently when coating to avoid breakage.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep crackers crisp and fresh.
