Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Base
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings & Seasoning
- 12 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dip (Optional)
- Keto pizza sauce, for dipping (low sugar and low carb)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cheese will melt evenly and crisp up beautifully during baking.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier as melted cheese can drip during baking.
- Form Cheese Mounds: Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and place small mounds spaced about 1 inch apart on the parchment. Gently press each mound down to create an even layer since the cheese will spread while melting.
- Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each mound to infuse the chips with classic pizza flavors like oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary.
- Add the Pepperoni: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each mound. The pepperoni will crisp as it bakes, adding savory flavor and texture to each chip.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Watch closely in the last minutes until the edges of the cheese turn golden brown and crispy, and the pepperoni curls and crisps.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the sheet from the oven and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes. Cooling firms up the cheese for a crispy, chip-like texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled pizza chips to a plate. Serve alone or with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the pizza flavor profile.
Notes
- Make sure to space the cheese mounds well apart — about 1 inch — as the cheese will spread during baking.
- Watch the chips closely in the final baking minutes to avoid burning; golden brown edges indicate crispiness.
- Letting the chips cool after baking is critical to achieving the best crispy texture.
- You can customize toppings by adding olives, sliced jalapeños, or other low-carb pizza toppings before baking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute mozzarella with a vegan cheese that melts well, but results may vary.
