Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chips evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Make cheese mounds: Scoop 1 tablespoon mounds of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow spreading without merging.
- Season cheese: Sprinkle each cheese mound evenly with Italian seasoning and garlic powder, adding flavor to the chips.
- Add pepperoni: Top each cheese mound with 3–4 mini pepperoni slices to add a savory, meaty topping.
- Bake chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has crisply melted.
- Cool chips: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they firm up and become crisp.
- Serve or store: Serve the keto chips immediately or once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or chili powder when seasoning the cheese.
- Make sure to space the cheese mounds properly to prevent the chips from sticking together.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- If you prefer thicker chips, use slightly larger mounds but expect longer baking time.
