Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan)
- 12-15 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the pizza chips evenly.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking during baking.
- Grate cheese: If your cheese isn’t pre-shredded, grate it now to prepare for forming the chips.
- Shape cheese mounds: Place small mounds of about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese each on the baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow spreading.
- Flatten cheese mounds: Slightly flatten each cheese mound with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even crisping during baking.
- Add pepperoni slices: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each flattened cheese mound, pressing lightly.
- Bake: Bake the assembled cheese and pepperoni bites for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for 1-2 minutes; they will crisp up further as they cool.
- Serve: Enjoy the pizza chips on their own or serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan cheese depending on your flavor preference.
- For a gluten-free snack, ensure your pepperoni and marinara sauce are gluten-free.
- You can add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the cheese before baking for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
- If pepperoni slices are large, you may cut them in half to better fit the cheese mounds.
