- Step 4: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over each mound and top with a slice of turkey pepperoni.
- Step 5: Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Storage
Store leftover pizza chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or until crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.

FAQs
Can I use regular pepperoni instead of turkey pepperoni?

Keto Pizza Chips Recipe
- Total Time: 17 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: Low Carb
Description
These Keto Pizza Chips are a delicious low-carb snack featuring crispy baked mozzarella cheese topped with turkey pepperoni and Italian seasoning. Perfect for a quick bite or a keto-friendly appetizer, they can be enjoyed on their own or dipped in keto-friendly pizza sauce.
Ingredients
Cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- Keto pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s properly heated for baking the pizza chips.
- Prepare the baking sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Form the cheese mounds. Place 12 flat mounds of shredded mozzarella evenly spaced on the sheet, allowing room for spreading and crisping.
- Add seasoning and toppings. Lightly sprinkle Italian seasoning over each cheese mound, then top each with one slice of turkey pepperoni.
- Bake the chips. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese are golden brown and starting to crisp up.
- Cool before serving. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet; this helps them crisp up fully and makes them easier to handle.
Notes
- Make sure to space the cheese mounds enough so they don’t merge as they melt.
- You can customize the seasoning to your liking, such as adding garlic powder or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Use turkey pepperoni for a leaner, keto-friendly topping option.
- Letting the chips cool is essential for achieving that perfect crisp texture.
- Serve with keto pizza sauce or a creamy ranch dip for added taste.
