2-Ingredient Pizza Chips (Strict Carnivore Recipe)
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese
(You can also use cheddar or Parmesan for a different flavor.) - 20–30 slices of pepperoni (thinly sliced, uncured if possible)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Chips:
- Place the pepperoni slices evenly on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Sprinkle a small pile of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon) on top of each slice of pepperoni. The cheese will melt and crisp up during baking.
- Bake the Chips:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges, and the pepperoni is crisp.
- Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Cool the Chips:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes. As they cool, they will firm up and become crunchy.
- Serve:
- Once fully cooled, transfer the chips to a serving dish. Enjoy them plain or dip them in a carnivore-friendly option like melted butter or whipped cream cheese.
Pro Tips:
- Pepperoni Crispiness: If you like your pepperoni extra crispy, bake them on their own for 3–4 minutes before adding the cheese, then return them to the oven.
- Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Re-crisp them in the oven or air fryer if needed.
- Cheese Variations: Use Parmesan for a sharper flavor or combine cheeses for a layered taste.
These Pizza Chips are crunchy, cheesy, and full of flavor while staying strictly carnivore. Perfect for snacking or serving alongside other meat-based dishes. Let me know how they turn out! 🍕🧀
