PIZZA CHIPS

Kitchen Equipment Needed

To make Pizza Chips, you don’t need much! Here’s the list of equipment:

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula
  • Knife (for cutting pepperoni)

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange the Cheese: Take small pinches of shredded mozzarella and place them in small mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each mound, as the cheese will spread when it melts.
  3. Add Toppings: Sprinkle each cheese mound with a little Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Then, top each one with a few pieces of pepperoni. If you like a spicy kick, feel free to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges are golden and crispy.
  5. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes. As they cool, they’ll firm up and become crispy.
  6. Serve: Once cooled, transfer the Pizza Chips to a serving plate and enjoy! They’re perfect as-is or with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch.

Notes and Tips

  • Cheese Choice: While mozzarella is the go-to for pizza flavor, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or provolone for a unique twist.
  • Toppings Variations: Feel free to switch up the toppings. Try adding crumbled sausage, diced olives, or even jalapeños to give your chips some extra flavor and texture.
  • Spices: Don’t limit yourself to just Italian seasoning! You can experiment with different spices like basil, oregano, or even smoked paprika to change up the flavor profile.
  • Storage: If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely, but just in case), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in a low oven to crisp them back up.
