Main Ingredients
- 4 ounces sliced pepperoni
Optional Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Arrange Pepperoni: Place the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none overlap for even crisping.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and/or grated Parmesan cheese over the pepperoni slices if desired, adding extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the pepperoni slices are crispy and edges begin to curl slightly.
- Drain Excess Grease: Remove from the oven and transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pepperoni chips cool for a few minutes to crisp up further before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dips like marinara sauce or ranch.
Notes
- For a quicker alternative, microwave pepperoni slices between paper towels for 1 to 2 minutes until crisp.
- Store leftover pepperoni chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
- Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dips for added flavor.
