Description

Keto Pizza Chips are a delicious low-carb snack featuring crispy, melty mozzarella cheese topped with savory pepperoni and Italian seasoning. Baked to golden perfection, these chips deliver all the classic pizza flavors without the carbs, making them an ideal keto-friendly appetizer or snack option.


Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • Keto pizza sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the cheese melts evenly and crisps up beautifully.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  3. Form Cheese Mounds. Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella onto the parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Press each mound down gently to form an even layer as the cheese will spread while baking.
  4. Season the Cheese. Sprinkle about a pinch of Italian seasoning over each cheese mound to infuse the flavors of oregano, basil, and thyme.
  5. Add the Pepperoni. Place one slice of pepperoni on top of each cheese mound; these will crisp up and add a savory crunch.
  6. Bake the Chips. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese turn golden brown and the pepperoni starts curling and crisping.
  7. Cool the Chips. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to firm up and become crispy.
  8. Serve and Enjoy. Transfer to a serving plate and optionally serve with keto-friendly pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the chips towards the end of baking to prevent burning as cheese can crisp quickly.
  • Spacing the cheese mounds about 1 inch apart gives them room to spread and crisp properly.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Italian seasoning or omit it.
  • Try using different types of pepperoni or add other keto-friendly toppings like sliced olives or jalapeños for variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and re-crisp in a hot oven or air fryer if needed.
