These spicy, two-ingredient pizza chips are seriously addictive and whip up in no time. They're just right for parties, movie marathons, or when you need a hearty snack any time.

The first time I threw these together was one game night, and they disappeared in minutes. Now they're always a hit at our spreads.

Ingredients

  • 80 g shredded mozzarella: Gives you that great crispy bite. Go for the low moisture kind for that crunch. The stuff from the dairy counter is always tastier.
  • 48 mini pepperoni slices, about 21 g: Adds all the punchy pizza flavor. Fresh from the fridge section beats the pre-packed ones every time.
  • Italian herb blend: Sprinkle this on top for deeper pizza vibes. Try to skip anything with fake add-ins if you can.

Simple step-by-step

Get ready:
Start by heating up your oven to 177°C and oiling up 16 spots in a mini muffin tin really well. This way nothing gets stuck.
Make a cheesy base:
Scoop about two teaspoons of shredded mozzarella into each prepped cup and press it down gently. You want an even layer.
Add the pepperoni:
Lay three mini pepperoni rounds over the cheese so every chip gets that bold flavor.
Season it:
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning onto each one. It really brings out the pizza taste.
Time to bake:
Carefully slide the tray into the oven and let it cook for about 8 minutes, or until the edges are dark golden and crisp.
Cool off and remove:
Let them chill for a bit so they firm up. Then gently loosen each one with a little spoon. They taste awesome warm—pair with some marinara if you want.

Good to know

Packed with protein and totally fits a low-carb diet. Using low moisture cheese turns them super crunchy. These are always the hit at parties or snack tables. My favorite part's that moment the pizza chip smell drifts out of the oven, and everyone gets impatient to grab one. We go for extra crispy and dip them like crazy.

How to store your pizza chips

Let your chips cool off all the way before you stash them. Keep out the air and seal them up. They'll last two to three days in the fridge. Want them extra crisp? Warm them up quickly in the oven or a hot skillet.

Swap up your ingredients

If you're not into mozzarella, try cheddar or gouda instead. Don't do meat? Smoked tofu or tomato slices work great on top. Toss on some fresh herbs like basil or oregano for even more flavor.

Ways to serve pizza chips

Snack on them straight from your hand or dig in during your favorite show. They're perfect on an antipasti platter too. Pair 'em with hot tomato dip or creamy garlic yogurt for a crowd-pleasing bite.
