Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Spread the saltine crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the garlic powder, dried parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Stir until well combined.
Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the butter mixture over the top of the saltine crackers, ensuring each cracker is coated with the seasoning blend.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool for a few minutes before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Transfer the crackers to a serving platter or an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days.
