Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni (thinly sliced, regular or turkey pepperoni works well)
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Layer the Pepperoni: Place slices of pepperoni on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice since they will shrink slightly as they bake. For less oily results, pat pepperoni slices with a paper towel before baking.
- Top with Cheese: Add about 1 teaspoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each pepperoni slice. Avoid adding too much cheese to prevent it from spreading into a puddle.
- Bake Until Crispy: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown around the edges.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the pizza chips cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes. This cooling step helps the chips firm up into crunchy, bite-sized snacks.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve your pizza chips plain or with dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or spicy garlic sauce for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced pepperoni for best results; turkey or regular pepperoni both work.
- Pat pepperoni slices dry before baking to reduce greasiness and keep chips crisp.
- Alternative meats like salami or thin ham slices can be used if sturdy enough.
- These pizza chips can be prepared in an air fryer at 375°F for 5 to 6 minutes, watching carefully.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for 3 to 4 days; re-crisp in a 350°F oven for a few minutes before serving.
- Not recommended for freezing as they lose their crunch.
- Add variations by sprinkling crushed red pepper, diced vegetables, different cheeses, or Italian seasoning.
- These chips have a savory pizza flavor but are crispier than traditional pizza.
