Description:
These 2-ingredient pizza chips are the ultimate low-carb, keto-friendly snack. They’re incredibly crispy, loaded with cheesy goodness, and bursting with classic pizza flavor from just cheese and pepperoni. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack, a game-day bite, or a party appetizer, these chips are fast, flavorful, and fun.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
- 20 slices of pepperoni (or turkey pepperoni for a lighter version)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place 20 small mounds of shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Top each cheese mound with one slice of pepperoni.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the sheet for maximum crispiness.
- Serve with warm marinara sauce, ranch, or enjoy as-is!
Notes & Tips:
- Use pre-sliced pepperoni for convenience.
- Let the chips cool fully to become crunchy.
- Swap mozzarella with Parmesan or cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Want them spicier? Sprinkle on red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning before baking.
- Great for meal prep—store in an airtight container at room temp for 1–2 days or in the fridge for longer.

Q: Can I use vegan cheese and pepperoni?
