Pizza Chips with Pepperoni

Print Recipe

Crunchy and cheesy pizza-flavored chips topped with pepperoni, perfect for snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture)
  • 50 grams shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 60 grams mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce (optional for drizzling)
  • Crumpled cooked bacon (optional)
  • Chopped black olives (optional)
  • Diced bell peppers (optional)
  • Sliced jalapenos (optional)
  • Dried oregano or basil for garnish (optional)
  • Marinara sauce, garlic butter, ranch dressing, spicy aioli (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (about 400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy removal.
  2. Combine in a medium bowl the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  3. Spoon approximately 15 grams of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each mound slightly. Ensure they are spaced at least 5 centimeters apart to allow for melting.
  4. Top each cheese disc with one or two mini pepperoni slices. If you are using optional toppings like bell peppers or olives, place them on top as well, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them during the final minutes to avoid over-browning.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool on the tray for about 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This allows them to crisp up fully.
  7. Serve the chips warm or at room temperature, accompanied by marinara sauce, garlic butter, ranch dressing, or spicy aioli for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispy chips, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
