Sweet and Spicy Seasoned Crackers

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (dash of ground sage)

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika 

1/4-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)

1/8-1teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)

kosher salt and black pepper

3 sleeves Ritz crackers or Saltines

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300° F. Place wire racks on top of two baking sheets.

2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, oregano, paprika, cayenne, and a pinch each of red pepper flakes, salt, and a generous pinch of pepper. Add the Ritz crackers and toss to combine, making sure all crackers are coated in butter.

3. Spread the Ritz out in an even layer on top of the racks. Bake for 15-25 minutes turning them halfway through cooking. You want the Ritz to be golden brown. Allow the Ritz to sit on the baking sheet until cooled and dry, about 20 minutes. Store the Ritz in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
