Ingredients (Makes about 20 crisps)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 thin slices pepperoni
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Crisps
Place pepperoni slices spaced evenly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle a small pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder on each slice if using.
3. Add Cheese
Top each pepperoni slice with about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle a little black pepper on top.
4. Bake
Bake in the oven for 6–8 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown around the edges.
5. Cool and Crisp
Remove from oven and let crisps cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet — they will firm up and become crispy.
6. Serve
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
