Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional
- Keto pizza sauce for dipping (low sugar, low carb)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even melting and crisping of the cheese.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Form Cheese Mounds: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese and spread into small mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Press the mounds down gently with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
- Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to infuse them with classic pizza herbs.
- Add the Pepperoni: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each seasoned cheese mound. This will crisp up during baking, adding texture and flavor.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, watching closely near the end. The chips are ready when the cheese edges are golden brown and the pepperoni slices are curled and crispy.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizza chips to cool for a few minutes. This helps the cheese firm up and become crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled chips to a serving plate. Optionally serve with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
Notes
- Make sure to space the cheese mounds adequately to prevent them from merging while baking.
- Pressing the cheese gently helps create thinner, crisper chips.
- Keep a close eye on baking time to avoid burning the cheese.
- Use keto-friendly pizza sauce with no added sugar for dipping to keep the recipe low carb.
- These chips are best enjoyed the same day for maximum crispiness.
