Pizza Chips Pepperoni Crispy Cheesy

Print Recipe

Crispy cheese chips topped with pepperoni and seasonings, baked until golden. Ideal for snacking and dipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150 grams shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture)
  • 50 grams shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 60 grams mini pepperoni slices or chopped pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce or marinara sauce (optional for drizzling)
  • Crumbled cooked bacon (optional)
  • Chopped black olives (optional)
  • Diced bell peppers (optional)
  • Sliced jalapenos (optional)
  • Dried oregano or basil for garnish (optional)
  • Marinara sauce
  • Garlic butter
  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy aioli

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes until the seasonings are thoroughly distributed.
  3. Spoon approximately 15 grams of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each mound slightly and spacing them at least 5 centimeters apart.
  4. Top each cheese disc with one or two mini pepperoni slices and, if desired, small amounts of optional toppings such as bell peppers or olives. Press lightly to adhere.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown. Observe closely in the final minutes to avoid over-browning.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chips cool on the tray for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, allowing them to crisp fully.
  7. Present the chips warm or at room temperature alongside marinara, garlic butter, ranch, or spicy aioli for dipping.

Notes

Ensure sufficient spacing between cheese mounds to allow for spreading and optimal crispness.
