Instructions:

Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the cheese from sticking to the baking sheet and make it easier to remove the chips later.
Forming the Cheese Chips:
- Take small mounds of shredded mozzarella (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading during baking.
- Flatten each mound of cheese into a thin, even layer to form your “chips.”
- Place 1 or 2 pepperoni slices on top of each cheese mound, pressing them down gently into the cheese.
Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese start to turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Broil for Extra Crispiness: After the initial baking, switch your oven to the broil setting on high. Keep a very close eye on the chips as they broil; this should only take about 1-2 minutes. You want them to become golden and crispy but not burnt, so stay nearby during this step.
Cool and Let Them Set: Once your chips have reached your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the oven. Carefully transfer them to a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels. Allow them to sit undisturbed for about 10 minutes; this will give them time to set and become even crunchier.
Remove Excess Oil: Dab the chips with a napkin or paper towel to remove any excess oil that may have rendered from the pepperoni. This step can help make the chips less greasy.
Serve and Enjoy: Your keto Mozzarella and Pepperoni Chips are ready to be enjoyed! They make for a delicious, satisfying low-carb snack. Keep in mind that there’s approximately one carb for every four chips.
