2-Ingredient Pizza Chips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 package pepperoni slices (or other preferred meats like turkey pepperoni or salami)

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese you prefer like cheddar or provolone)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:

   • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the chips.

2. Prepare the baking sheet:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chips from sticking.

   • Place the pepperoni slices on the sheet, making sure there is enough space between them.

3. Add cheese:

   • Take the shredded mozzarella and sprinkle it evenly over each pepperoni slice. You can use more or less cheese based on how cheesy you want the chips to be.

4. Bake:

   • Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown. You’ll also notice that the edges of the pepperoni will become crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

5. Cool and serve:

   • Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the pizza chips cool slightly. They’ll become even crispier as they cool.

   • Serve and enjoy your crispy, cheesy pizza chips! You can dip them in marinara sauce or enjoy them as is.

Q&A: Common Questions & Tips

Q1: Can I use other types of meat besides pepperoni?
A1: Yes! You can use turkey pepperoni, salami, or even sliced ham or chicken sausage. Just make sure whatever meat you choose crisps up well in the oven.

Q2: Can I make these chips without pepperoni?
A2: You could try making cheese chips alone, but keep in mind that pepperoni adds flavor and crunch. You can make them by placing shredded mozzarella on the baking sheet and baking until the cheese melts and crisps.

Q3: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A3: Absolutely! You can use cheddar, provolone, parmesan, or even a cheese blend. Different cheeses will provide unique flavors, so feel free to experiment.

Q4: Can I make these ahead of time?
A4: These pizza chips are best enjoyed fresh, as the cheese stays crispy. However, you can store them in an airtight container for a day or two. To reheat, place them in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.

Q5: Can I make these chips spicy?
A5: Yes! You can add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking for some extra heat. If you like more spice, try using spicy pepperoni or jalapeños as toppings.

Q6: How can I make these chips even more flavorful?
A6: You can sprinkle some garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano on top of the cheese before baking. This will give them extra Italian pizza flavor!

Q7: How do I prevent the cheese from spreading too much?
A7: To prevent the cheese from spreading too much and sticking, make sure to keep a little space between each piece of pepperoni. If needed, you can also use a slotted spoon to remove any excess grease from the pepperoni.
