### How to Make Crispy Garlic Bread Ritz Bits Delight
Ready to dive into this simple yet flavorful snack? Here’s how to make **Crispy Garlic Bread Ritz Bits Delight** in just a few easy steps:
#### Step 1: Preheat the Oven
1. Preheat your **oven** to **375°F (190°C)**. This ensures that your Ritz Bits will crisp up perfectly when baked.
#### Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture
1. In a small bowl, melt the **butter** and mix it with **olive oil**.
2. Add the **garlic powder** (or freshly minced garlic), **oregano**, and **red pepper flakes** (if using). Stir well to combine. This garlic butter mixture will be the flavorful coating that gives the Ritz Bits their irresistible taste.
#### Step 3: Coat the Ritz Bits
1. In a large bowl, pour the **Ritz Bits crackers**. If you’re using the peanut butter-filled ones, their savory flavor will add an extra depth to the dish, but the original flavor works just as well.
2. Drizzle the prepared **garlic butter mixture** over the Ritz Bits. Gently stir and toss until all the crackers are evenly coated with the buttery, garlicky goodness.
#### Step 4: Add the Parmesan Cheese
1. Sprinkle the **Parmesan cheese** over the coated Ritz Bits, tossing again to ensure the cheese sticks to the buttery crackers.
#### Step 5: Bake to Perfection
1. Spread the coated Ritz Bits onto a **baking sheet** in a single layer. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy on all sides.
2. **Bake for 10-12 minutes** in the preheated oven, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to check them halfway through and stir them around a bit to ensure even baking.
#### Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches
1. Once the Ritz Bits are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
2. **Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley** for a burst of color and a fresh, herbal note.
3. Let them cool slightly before serving, as they’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
