Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Base

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings & Seasoning

12 slices pepperoni
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional

Keto pizza sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the cheese melts evenly and crisps up nicely.
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Form Cheese Mounds: Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing each mound about 1 inch apart. Gently press them down with the back of a spoon to form even layers.
Season the Cheese: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning evenly over each cheese mound to infuse a classic pizza flavor.
Add the Pepperoni: Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound. The pepperoni will crisp up during baking, adding a delightful texture and savory taste.
Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes. Watch closely toward the end until the cheese edges turn golden brown and the pepperoni becomes crispy and curled.
Cool the Chips: Remove from the oven and let the pizza chips cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. This allows the cheese to firm up and become crisp.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooled chips to a plate and serve. For extra flavor, offer keto pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Be sure to space cheese mounds adequately to allow room for spreading and crisping.
Use full-fat mozzarella for best melting and crisping results.
Keep an eye on chips toward the end of baking to avoid burning.
These chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days but are best eaten fresh.
Customize with other keto-friendly toppings such as olives or herbs if desired.
