Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
Arrange Pepperoni: Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even crisping.
Bake: Bake the pepperoni slices in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until they become crisp and the edges curl slightly, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
Drain Excess Grease: Remove the baked pepperoni chips from the oven and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease for a less oily snack.
Cool: Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes; this helps them crisp up even further for maximum crunch.
Serve: Enjoy the pepperoni chips warm or at room temperature. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or cheese dip for an enhanced flavor experience.

Notes

To reduce grease, you can place a paper towel over the pepperoni slices before microwaving or baking.
These pepperoni chips can also be made in an air fryer at 375°F for 5–6 minutes as an alternative cooking method.
