Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the Ritz crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between crackers.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Ranch dressing mix, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder until combined.
Spoon or brush the buttery topping over each cracker, ensuring they are generously coated.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and the topping is lightly bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for later.
