Description
Crunchy and flavorful Tasty Keto Chips made from crispy pepperoni slices topped with melted mozzarella cheese and seasoned with Italian herbs and garlic powder. Perfect low-carb snack for keto dieters and cheese lovers alike.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Pepperoni slices – 20 slices (choose high-quality, low-carb)
- Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 cup
Seasonings
- Italian seasoning – 1 tsp
- Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
- Salt – 1/4 tsp or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you prefer using an air fryer, set it to the same temperature for consistent cooking.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pepperoni from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the Pepperoni: Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none overlap. Proper spacing helps each chip achieve a perfect crisp texture.
- Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni slices. Adjust the amount based on how cheesy you want your chips.
- Season: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder if using, and salt over the cheese and pepperoni to enhance the flavor profile.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the pepperoni are crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Cooling helps them become crispier. Serve warm and enjoy your tasty keto snack!
Notes
- Use high-quality pepperoni with minimal carbs for best keto compliance.
- Feel free to swap mozzarella for other cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan for varied flavors.
- Adjust seasoning quantities based on your taste preference.
- These chips are best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Watch closely during baking to prevent burning as ovens vary in temperature accuracy.
