Description
Buttery and flavorful baked ranch crackers seasoned with ranch mix, garlic powder, and dried dill, making for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing snack perfect for parties or casual munching.
Ingredients
Crackers
- 1 box Ritz Bitz cheese crackers (8.8 ounces) OR 9 ounces oyster crackers or mini saltine crackers
Seasoning Mixture
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (1-ounce packet)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Mix Crackers and Butter: Place the crackers into a large bowl. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the crackers, then gently stir to coat all crackers thoroughly but carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and dried dill over the butter-coated crackers. Gently stir again, ensuring the crackers are evenly seasoned with the flavorful mix.
- Bake the Crackers: Spread the seasoned crackers into a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking to ensure even toasting and flavor distribution.
- Cool and Store: Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain their crispness and delicious flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the Ritz Bitz cheese crackers with oyster crackers or mini saltine crackers for different textures and flavors.
- Be gentle when stirring to avoid breaking the crackers.
- For more intense flavor, you can increase the ranch seasoning slightly, but be mindful of sodium content.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to keep them crisp for up to a week.
- Serve as a snack on their own or alongside dips and spreads for parties.
