Ingredients
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
20 to 25 pepperoni slices
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish
Pizza sauce for dipping
Instruction
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place small piles of shredded mozzarella cheese on the baking sheet, leaving space between each pile. Flatten them slightly into chip shapes.
Top each cheese pile with pepperoni slices.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes so they become crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
Method
The cheese melts and spreads while baking, creating a crunchy chip texture as it cools. The pepperoni crisps up on top, adding a smoky pizza flavor in every bite.
