Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Italian cheese blend)
- 12–15 slices of pepperoni (or turkey pepperoni for a lighter version)
🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Assemble:
- Place small piles (about 1 tablespoon) of shredded cheese onto the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Top each cheese pile with a slice of pepperoni.
- Optional: sprinkle a little Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes on top for extra flavor.
3️⃣ Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are crispy and golden.
- Watch closely near the end — they can go from crispy to burnt quickly!
4️⃣ Cool:
- Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes so they firm up and get extra crispy.
🧄 Optional Add-Ons:
- Sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan before baking.
- Add a tiny dot of pizza sauce under the pepperoni for an extra burst of flavor (makes it slightly softer though).
🍅 Serving Tip:
- Serve with a small bowl of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
- Also great with ranch, garlic sauce, or spicy aioli!
