Pepperoni Crisps

I’m back this week with a new recipe I tried.  Pepperoni Chips.  You can find it here https://kaseytrenum.com/keto-low-carb-snack-idea/ or in my Keto board on Pinterest.

Since everyone is laying off the carbs (my husband included) I wanted to make a snack that Rich would actually eat.  I’ll start by saying these are really easy to make, but I have a few adjustments I learned while making them.

As usual I grabbed my ingredients and got started.

Like I said before these were super easy to make, I was actually on the phone with my mom while I was making them (Hi mom). 

I said to my mom as I was putting these together that I think I used too much cheese.  She confirmed that there is no such thing as too much cheese.  A little tip I did learn while putting these together, was that the cheese is a bit long, so I took the cheese out of the bag put it on a dish and just chopped it a little so it would stay of the pepperoni better. 

I set the timer and 9 minutes later I pulled these out. I didn’t realize how greasy these were (I know what was I thinking?!?!).  I let them cool for a few minutes and pulled them off the parchment paper.  I transferred them to paper towels just to soak up some of the grease. 

Final look…

So what did I learn from this….There is a such thing as too much cheese and they need to be cooked just a tad longer than 9 minutes.  I thought they would be crispier.  Don’t get me wrong my husband and I still enjoyed them, but we both agreed these changes need to be made next time.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• Pepperoni Slices
• Mozzarella Cheese grated
• Italian Seasoning

Instructions

1.          Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

2. Cover baking pan with parchment paper and lay pepperoni slices on pan allowing for room between each.
3. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top of each pepperoni slice.
4. Sprinkle Italian Seasoning on top. 
5. Bake for 9 minutes then remove from oven. The Pepperoni Crisps will begin to crisp as they cool.
6. Optional: Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top before enjoying. 
7. 
   

I look forward to making these again with a few adjustments.  I think these make a great snack when your trying to stay Keto. Have any of you tried these; let me know what you did differently or the same!! Until next time…
