Baked Saltines

1 sleeve saltine crackers

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat your oven to 350˚F. Place a roasting rack over a baking sheet. Brush both sides of the saltines with melted butter. For an extra kick, you can sprinkle a little Old Bay over the crackers. Bake until golden brown on both sides, about 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through.
