Ingredients
Scale
Cheese & Meat
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dipping Sauce
- Keto pizza sauce for dipping (low sugar, low carb)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the cheese melts evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup simpler.
- Form Cheese Mounds: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese per chip and place small mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press each mound down gently to create a flat, even layer.
- Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to add classic pizza herb flavors.
- Add the Pepperoni: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound; this will crisp up during baking and add a savory texture.
- Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, watching closely toward the end. The chips are done when the cheese edges turn golden brown and the pepperoni slices curl and become crispy.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the baking sheet and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes so the cheese can firm up and become crisp.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled chips to a serving plate and optionally serve with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Make sure to watch the chips toward the end of baking to avoid burning as they can brown quickly.
- Use full-fat mozzarella cheese for the best melting and crisping results.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking if desired.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; re-crisp in a hot oven if needed.
