Notes
To make these Ranch Ritz Crackers gluten free, replace the Ritz crackers with certified gluten-free butter-style crackers.
Use a ranch dressing mix that is clearly labeled gluten free, as some seasoning packets may contain gluten-based additives or anti-caking ingredients.
Confirm that the Pecorino cheese, cayenne pepper, cumin, butter, and nonstick baking spray are labeled gluten free.
Prepare the crackers with clean utensils, baking sheets, bowls, and storage containers to prevent gluten cross-contact.
For best texture, choose a sturdy gluten-free cracker that can hold up to gentle shaking and baking without crumbling too much.
