Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

12 slices mini pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons finely chopped bell peppers

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Arrange the mini pepperoni slices evenly on the prepared tray, leaving space between each slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over each pepperoni slice.
Add a small dot of pizza sauce on each chip, then sprinkle with oregano, basil, garlic powder, and chili flakes if using.
Lightly top with sliced olives or chopped bell peppers if desired.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for 2–3 minutes to crisp up, then transfer to a serving plate and serve warm.

Notes

Use mini pepperoni to help the chips keep their shape and crisp evenly.
Avoid adding too much sauce, as it can make the chips soggy.
Serve with marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic dip for extra flavor.
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or extra chili flakes.
These chips are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated briefly in the oven.
