Ingredients
- 30–40 slices of pepperoni (regular or turkey)
- Optional: Italian seasoning for extra flavor
- Optional: Garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pepperoni chips.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack over the sheet to allow air circulation and to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Pepperoni: Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, making sure none overlap to ensure even crisping.
- Bake the Pepperoni: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the pepperoni are crisp and the slices have darkened slightly.
- Drain Excess Grease: Remove the pepperoni chips from the oven and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
- Cool: Let the pepperoni chips cool for a few minutes; they will become even crispier as they cool down.
- Add Seasonings and Serve: If desired, sprinkle Italian seasoning or garlic powder on top before serving your crispy pepperoni chips.
Notes
- These pepperoni chips make a great low-carb snack or crunchy topping for salads, soups, and casseroles.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crispy for up to 3 days.
- You can use turkey pepperoni to reduce fat content for a leaner option.
- Adjust baking time slightly if your pepperoni slices are thicker or thinner for optimal crispness.
