Satisfy your savory cravings with these ultra-crispy, 2-ingredient pizza chips that deliver all the bold, zesty flavors of a classic slice without the heavy dough. Baked until golden and bubbly, melted mozzarella forms a sturdy, chip-like base loaded with rich pepperoni spices and savory depth.
Equipment
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat
- Wire Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup (112g) low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices (approx. 30g) mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni cut into quarters)
- Optional pinch: 1/4 tsp dried Italian oregano or red pepper flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- Spoon the shredded mozzarella into 8 equal mounds (about 2 tablespoons each), spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Press 2 slices of pepperoni gently into the center of each mound; sprinkle with dried oregano if desired.
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8 to 10 minutes, watching closely until the edges turn deep golden brown and the centers stop violently bubbling.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let the chips sit undisturbed for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire cooling rack until rigid, crisp, and ready to serve.
