Crispy Pepperoni Cheese Chips (Printer-Friendly)

Crispy pepperoni layers baked with melted cheddar and mozzarella create a savory, crunchy snack ready in 15 minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 24 slices pepperoni

02 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

03 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

05 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

02 - Arrange pepperoni slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between each slice.

03 - Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over each pepperoni slice.

04 - Optionally sprinkle dried Italian herbs and red pepper flakes on top for extra flavor.

05 - Bake for 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden, and pepperoni edges are crisp.

06 - Let chips cool on the tray for 2-3 minutes to set, then transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

07 - Serve warm or at room temperature.

01 -

The combination of crispy pepperoni and melted cheese creates something so addictive you will wonder why you ever bothered with regular potato chips
They are ready in fifteen minutes flat but taste like something from a restaurant appetizer menu

02 -

The cooling step is actually crucial because the cheese needs a couple minutes to set into a chip-like texture
Thinner pepperoni slices work better than thick ones which can stay chewy instead of getting properly crisp

03 -

Pat the pepperoni slices with a paper towel before baking if you want extra crispy results with less grease
Let the oven fully preheat before putting these in so they crisp up evenly instead of steaming
