Main Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary blend)
Optional
- Keto pizza sauce, for dipping (low-carb, sugar-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even melting of the cheese and optimal crisping of the pizza chips.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking and to make clean-up easy.
- Form Cheese Mounds: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella onto the parchment paper, spacing each mound about 1 inch apart. Press down lightly with the back of a spoon to form an even layer for uniform baking.
- Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to infuse them with aromatic, classic pizza flavors.
- Add the Pepperoni: Place one pepperoni slice on top of each cheese mound. The pepperoni will crisp and curl as it bakes, adding texture and savory flavor.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove once the cheese edges turn golden brown and the pepperoni crisps up.
- Cool the Chips: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This cooling period helps the cheese firm up and become perfectly crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled chips to a serving plate. For extra flavor, serve with a side of keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure spacing between cheese mounds to allow spreading and proper crisping.
- Watch closely towards the end of baking to avoid burning the cheese.
- Use high-quality mozzarella for best melting and flavor.
- Customize toppings by adding other low-carb pizza ingredients if desired.
- Keto pizza sauce should be low in sugar to keep carb count minimal.
