PEPPERONI SLICES (MINI):

  • The mini slices of pepperoni will be savory & crispy; that’s why they lift the taste up. But still, they are not mandatory.

MOZARELLA CHEESE(SHREDDED):

  • It is much better to use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. It will be the base for your golden & crunchy texture.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • You may use the garlic powder for a special classic aroma. If you don’t have that, then use onion powder instead.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • It will give extra flavor & crunch to your pizza chips. But it is up to you whether you use it or not. If you decide to add it, then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chips before baking.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

  • You may use the mixed herbs on each of the chips or customize each chip with a different herb. The use of herbs gives the chips the signature pizza flavor.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SERVING:

  • You may use these chips(crumbled form) to add crunch to the salad.
  • Marinara sauce will pair perfectly with these pizza chips.
  • While having the soup (keto), you may use these chips for extra crunch.
  • They will also go very nice with ranch dressing & garlic aioli.

TIPS:

  • If you want to get the maximum crispiness, then allow them to evaporate the moisture completely.
  • As the cheese starts to melt, keep an eye on the chips, as they will be very prone to burning at that time.
  • If you want an easy cleanup, then use a silicone baking mat instead of a parchment sheet.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Once they cool down, transfer them to any container with a sealed lid. Keep them in the fridge for around three/four days.

FREEZER:

  • We are not going to recommend the freezing of these chips as freezing will destroy their crispiness upon defrosting.

FAQs:

Is it possible to bake these chips in the air fryer?

  • Give around five/six mins at 375 degrees F to these chips in the airfryer. Be attentive that they won’t get dark.
