Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices (or diced regular pepperoni)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place small mounds of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches of space between them to allow spreading.

Top each cheese mound with a few mini pepperoni slices.

Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted and crisped up.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for 2-3 minutes directly on the sheet. They’ll continue to crisp as they cool.

Transfer the chips to a plate and serve immediately, or store them for later use.

Spicy twist: Add a dash of red pepper flakes to the cheese for a spicy kick.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Keep the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make them soggy.
