Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (cut into small pieces)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Pizza sauce or marinara for dipping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Prepare the cheese mixture
   In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using.
3. Form the chips
   Place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound to create a thin layer.
4. Add pepperoni
   Sprinkle the pepperoni pieces on top of each mound, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
5. Bake the chips
   Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
6. Cool the chips
   Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for about 5 minutes. This allows them to crisp up fully.
7. Serve
   Transfer the cooled pizza chips to a serving platter and pair them with a side of pizza sauce or marinara for dipping, if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serving: Serve the pizza chips immediately for the best crunch. They are perfect for parties, game nights, or as a satisfying snack.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To refresh their crispiness, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes.

FAQs

1. Can I make these chips without pepperoni?
Absolutely! You can omit the pepperoni or substitute it with other toppings like diced bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage.

2. Can I use pre-shredded cheese?
Yes, pre-shredded cheese works well, but grating your own cheese may result in better melting and crisping.

3. Are these chips keto-friendly?
Yes! These pizza chips are low-carb and keto-friendly, making them a perfect snack for those on a ketogenic diet.

4. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Definitely! Arrange the cheese mixture in small mounds in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between them. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-7 minutes, checking for doneness.
