These quick crisps are the kind of snack my best friend always had ready when guests dropped by unannounced. Just pepperoni and cheese, baked until bubbly and crisp, and you’ve got something hot, salty, and satisfying in minutes. They crunch like potato chips but pack way more flavor thanks to smoky pepperoni and browned cheese—a stripped‑down nod to Midwestern bar snacks and party trays.

Serving Ideas

• Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
• Pair with a crisp green salad to balance the richness.
• Perfect alongside a cold beer, a glass of red wine, or sparkling water with lemon.
• For a fuller spread, add raw veggies with dip, olives, or a small cheese board.

Pepperoni Crisps (2 Ingredients, Low Carb)

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat Oven
   Heat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Arrange Slices
   Lay pepperoni in a single layer, leaving space between each.
3. Add Cheese
   Sprinkle a pinch of mozzarella onto the center of each slice. Keep cheese mostly on the pepperoni, not the pan.
4. Bake
   Bake 8–12 minutes, until pepperoni edges are crisp and cheese is melted and golden. Watch closely near the end.
5. Cool & Serve
   Let crisps cool on the pan 5–10 minutes—they’ll firm up as they rest. Blot bottoms with paper towel if needed, then transfer to a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
