2 Ingredient Pizza Chips Recipe
Introduction
These 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips are a quick and satisfying snack perfect for pizza lovers. Crispy, cheesy, and topped with pepperoni, they bring all the flavors of a classic pizza in a convenient bite-sized form.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup (80 g) low moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
- 48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the inside of a mini muffin pan. Since this recipe yields 16 chips, grease only 16 cups of the pan.
- Step 2: Add 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella to each greased cup, then gently pat the cheese down to form a base.
- Step 3: Place 3 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the cheese in each cup. If you like, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over each chip for extra flavor.
- Step 4: Bake the chips for about 8 minutes, or until the edges turn a dark golden brown.
- Step 5: Allow the chips to cool in the muffin pan until they are just cool enough to handle, then carefully remove them. Placing them on a plate lined with paper towels helps soak up any excess oil.
- Step 6: Serve your pizza chips warm. Enjoy them plain or with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- For a bit more flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Substitute the mini pepperoni with sliced olives or diced bell peppers for a different topping.
- If you want crispier chips, bake a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
Storage
Store any leftover pizza chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular pepperoni instead of mini pepperoni?
Yes, you can cut regular pepperoni into smaller pieces to fit on the chips. Mini pepperoni is simply more convenient and bite-sized.
Can these chips be made gluten-free?
Absolutely. Since the ingredients are just cheese and pepperoni, these pizza chips are naturally gluten-free, just be sure your pepperoni contains no gluten additives.
