Recipe Equipment
To make pizza chips effortlessly, you’ll need:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone mat
- Measuring cups
- Spoon for sauce
- Oven
Ingredients
For Classic Pizza Chips
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup pizza sauce (sugar-free if low-carb)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional toppings: olives, bell peppers, mushrooms
Why these ingredients work:
Cheese crisps beautifully in the oven, creating a crunchy base while delivering rich flavor. Pizza sauce and seasoning add that signature pizza taste without needing dough.
Ingredient Notes
- Cheese: Mozzarella melts smoothly, but a mix of mozzarella and parmesan adds extra crispiness.
- Pizza Sauce: Choose thick sauce to avoid soggy chips.
- Toppings: Keep toppings small and light so chips stay crispy.
- Low-Carb Option: Use only cheese and toppings — no crust needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Create the cheese base.
Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of shredded cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart. - Add sauce carefully.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each cheese mound. Don’t overdo it — a little goes a long way. - Top it off.
Add pepperoni and any optional toppings. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over each chip. - Bake until golden.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are crispy and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned. - Cool for crunch.
Let pizza chips cool for 5 minutes. They’ll firm up and become perfectly crispy.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra crunch, use parchment paper and avoid overcrowding the pan. Want a spicy kick? Add crushed red pepper flakes. For a veggie version, try spinach, mushrooms, or onions. You can also make keto pizza chips using only cheese and toppings — no sauce needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness. These chips also work great in an air fryer for even faster results.
