Why You’ll Love This Delish Ranch Ritz

1. **It’s Stupid Easy**: Literally requires zero brain power. Even when you’re dead-tired, this snack comes together like it’s doing all the work.

How to Make It

Alright, grab your spatula, maybe a drink, and let’s vibe through this. First off, preheat your oven—unless you forgot to take your last pizza out… like me… but go ahead and warm that bad boy up to about 250°F-ish. We’re just goin’ for a gentle crisp, not disco inferno. Mix your ranch seasoning, and trust me, you’ll inhale this and consider it a victory when half doesn’t end up on the floor. Pour that buttery goodness over your Ritz crackers. Toss those golden disks until they’re all fancy and seasoned like they just came out of a spa treatment. Spread ’em out so they each get their tan, and pop the tray in the oven for about 20 minutes. Keep your nose alert—because your kitchen’s gonna smell like snack heaven.

Ingredient Notes

– **Ritz Crackers**: The base of our snacking dreams. Overmix ’em, and they’ll just crumble into chaos—but still yum.
– **Ranch Seasoning Mix**: Ah, the magic powder. Don’t cheap out on this; it’s the whole point.
– **Butter**: Melt it, don’t burn it. I once turned it into a smoky mess – didn’t hate it, but not recommendable.

**Recipe Steps:**

1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
2. Mix ranch seasoning with melted butter.
3. Toss crackers in the mixture until evenly coated.
4. Spread on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– **Don’t burn** the butter; it loves to hold grudges.
– I once used **salted** butter; it was a bit much but nothing a cold drink couldn’t solve.

Storage Tips

Pop any leftovers (if there’s a universe where you have some) in an airtight container. They stay crunchy, and yeah, I’ve had them for breakfast cold. Judge away, but no regrets here.

Variations and Substitutions

Okay, listen up: tried using olive oil once—definitely lighter; kept telling myself it was “healthier.” Oh, and if you run out of Ritz, any other slightly boring cracker will do, but it won’t quite be the same epic-ness. Swap in some garlic powder if you want some extra zing.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
