These pizza chips are an easy recipe with just 2 ingredients. They are tasty and fun and you don’t need to be a on a keto diet to enjoy them!

INGREDIENTS

• 2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
• 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni

• INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the interior of a mini muffin pan. This recipe yields 16 chips so you only need to grease 16 cups.
  • Add 2 tsp of mozzarella to each greased cup. Lightly pat down the mozzarella into the cups. Place 3 slices of mini pepperoni on each chip. If desired, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top of each chip. This is optional but does add more flavor.
  • Bake chips for about 8 minutes or until edges are a dark golden brown. Let chips cool in muffin pan until they are cool enough to touch. Remove chips from pan. I like to place the chips on a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up some of the excess oil from the cheese and pepperoni. Serve pepperoni chips while warm. They can be eaten plain or served with marinara sauce.

  NOTES

  • Mozzarella cheese can be replaced with other cheeses. See post for more details. If you are using mozzarella, make sure to use a low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese. I used Kirkland’s low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese.
  • If you make these chips with mozzarella, the texture will not be crunchy. See “Pizza Chips Texture” section of the post for more details. To make a crispy version, substitute with shredded Parmesan cheese and turn the oven up to 400F. Cook until chips are light brown (about 7-8 minutes). You may also want to bake them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper rather than in a mini muffin pan. They can be baked in a muffin pan but because the chips turn hard and crunchy, they also are very hard to remove from the muffin pan.
  • You can use regular pepperoni instead of mini, just use one per chip instead of 3.
  • I served these with Rao’s marinara sauce which has no sugar added.
