Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 3 oz mini pepperoni slices
- 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.13 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional, for heat
- 0.13 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F and line two sheet pans with parchment or a silicone mat.
- Stir mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Scoop heaping tablespoon mounds onto the pans, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each mound slightly and press a few mini pepperoni pieces on top.
- Bake until edges are deep golden and lacy, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Cool on the pan 3 to 5 minutes, blot any excess oil, then transfer to a rack to crisp fully.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Variation: Swap mozzarella with a blend of mozzarella and sharp cheddar for a bolder flavor. Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a hint of smoke. Serving tip: Pair with warm marinara or ranch for dipping. Storage: Keep crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 3–4 minutes.
