Chips. Crafted with simplicity in mind, this recipe is a testament to the fact that good things often come in small, crunchy packages. Whether you're on a keto diet or simply seeking a delightful snack, these pizza chips are your go-to option for flavor-packed satisfaction.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup (80 g) low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese
48 slices (21 g) mini pepperoni

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease 16 cups of a mini muffin pan.
Distribute 2 tsp of low-moisture shredded mozzarella into each cup, gently patting it down.
Adorn each chip with 3 slices of mini pepperoni. For an extra burst of flavor, consider a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Bake for approximately 8 minutes or until the edges achieve a rich, golden brown hue.
Allow the chips to cool in the muffin pan until touchably warm. Then, transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
These pepperoni chips can be relished on their own or paired with your favorite marinara sauce.

Recipe Notes:

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Refer to the post for an array of possibilities. If opting for mozzarella, ensure it's the low-moisture, shredded variety, like Kirkland's low-moisture part-skim mozzarella.
Understand that using mozzarella may result in a less crunchy texture. For a crispy alternative, substitute with shredded Parmesan cheese and elevate the oven temperature to 400°F. Aim for a light brown finish in about 7-8 minutes.
When using mozzarella, baking on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet might be a preferable alternative to a mini muffin pan for ease of removal.

Presentation and Serving: For a delightful serving experience, pair these pizza chips with Rao's marinara sauce, boasting a sugar-free composition. The crispy texture, savory aroma, and robust flavor profile make this snack a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.
