Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional

  • Keto pizza sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even melting and crisping of the cheese chips.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Form Cheese Mounds: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently press each mound down with the back of a spoon to form an even layer.
  4. Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to infuse the chips with classic pizza herb flavors.
  5. Add the Pepperoni: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound. The pepperoni will crisp as the chips bake.
  6. Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, watching carefully. The chips are ready when the cheese edges turn golden brown and the pepperoni starts to curl and crisp up.
  7. Cool the Chips: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes to firm up and become crispy.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled chips to a plate. Serve with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the chips as they bake to prevent burning since cheese can brown quickly.
  • If you want extra flavor, try sprinkling additional toppings like grated Parmesan or crushed red pepper before baking.
  • Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella for the best melt and crisp texture.
  • These chips are best enjoyed the same day as baking since they may lose crispness over time.
  • Keto pizza sauce can be homemade or store-bought, just ensure it is low in carbs and sugar.
