Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking crispy pizza chips.
Prepare the Tortilla or Dough: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, or roll out pizza dough into a thin circle about 1/8 inch thick, which will create a crispy base for your chips.
Cut into Shapes: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the tortilla or dough into triangles or squares, creating chip-sized pieces for easy snacking.
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush both sides of each chip with olive oil. This helps them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
Add Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and optional red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over all the chips for that classic pizza flavor.
Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the seasoned chips, then finish with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy kick.
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the chips in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap to ensure even baking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Cool Down: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes so they crisp up perfectly and are safe to handle.
Serve with Pizza Sauce: Warm your pizza sauce and serve it on the side for dipping, enhancing the pizza chip experience.
Garnish (Optional): Chop fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the chips for a fresh, aromatic finish.
Enjoy: Serve the pizza chips warm and enjoy this fun, cheesy snack with friends and family.

Notes

Add Toppings: Feel free to customize your pizza chips by adding toppings like pepperoni slices, bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage before baking.
Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar or provolone for unique flavors.
Make It Spicy: Add jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce to the chips for an extra spicy kick.
Storage: Store any leftover pizza chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to regain crispiness.
Serving Size: This recipe yields approximately 4 to 6 servings, perfect for sharing as a snack or appetizer.
