Ingredients
Main Ingredients
225 g shredded mozzarella cheese
16 pepperoni slices
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional
Keto pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
Preheat & Line: Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release.
Form Cheese Mounds: Using about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella per chip, place small mounds on the parchment paper and lightly flatten them, leaving space for spreading.
Top & Season: Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each mound, then press a pepperoni slice into the center of each cheese pile.
Bake: Slide the baking tray into the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown indicating they are done.
Cool & Crisp: Let the chips rest on the sheet for 2 to 3 minutes so they firm up as they cool, then carefully transfer to a plate using a spatula.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm alongside keto pizza sauce for dipping and enjoy the crunchy, cheesy snack right away for best texture.
Notes
Use a mozzarella brand that melts smoothly for the best crispy texture.
Turkey pepperoni or vegetarian pepperoni are good alternatives to traditional pepperoni.
Spacing the cheese mounds prevents them from merging during baking.
If you don’t have Italian seasoning, use a mix of oregano and basil as substitutes.
Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the chips; they may soften if stored.
The optional keto pizza sauce should be low-carb to keep the snack keto-friendly.
