Introduction

Keto Pizza Chips are a crispy, cheesy snack that captures all the flavors of your favorite pizza without the carbs. Made with melted mozzarella, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning, these chips are perfect for a low-carb treat or appetizer.

The image shows several small round mini pizzas on a baking tray covered with aluminum foil. Each mini pizza has a golden-brown, slightly crispy crust as the bottom layer, topped with melted light yellow cheese as the second layer. On top of the cheese is a single slice of bright red pepperoni, evenly placed in the center of each pizza. The pepperoni slices have a shiny, slightly oily surface. Small green herbs and black pepper spices are sprinkled over the pizzas, adding texture and color contrast. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 slices pepperoni
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Keto pizza sauce (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even melting and crisping of the cheese.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 3: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella onto the parchment, forming small mounds spaced about 1 inch apart. Press each mound down gently to create an even layer.
Step 4: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to infuse that classic pizza flavor.
Step 5: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes. Watch closely and remove when the cheese edges are golden brown and the pepperoni has crisped and curled.
Step 7: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so the cheese firms up and becomes crispy.
Step 8: Transfer to a plate and serve, optionally with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Use leftover shredded cheese or grate your own mozzarella for the best melt.
Try adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
If you prefer a different topping, swap pepperoni for cooked sausage or sliced olives.
Make your own keto pizza sauce by simmering canned tomatoes with garlic and herbs for a low-carb dip option.

Storage

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days for best crispness. Reheat briefly in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to restore their crunch. Avoid microwaving as it can make them chewy.

How to Serve

The image shows multiple small round mini pizzas arranged on a sheet of baking paper over a white marbled surface. Each mini pizza has three visible layers: a golden-brown crispy base, a thick layer of melted creamy cheese in the middle, and a bright red round slice of pepperoni on top with small green herb sprinkles scattered over it. The texture of the base looks crunchy, the cheese layer is gooey and smooth, while the pepperoni slice is slightly crispy on the edges. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Mozzarella works best for its meltability and mild flavor, but you can try cheddar or a blend for a sharper taste. Keep in mind that texture and melting behavior may vary.

Are these chips suitable for other low-carb diets?

Yes, these keto pizza chips are also great for paleo and gluten-free diets, as they contain no grains or sugars. Just be sure to check your toppings and sauce ingredients for any additives.
