Carnivore Pepperoni Cheese Crisps
Ingredients:
- Pepperoni slices (thinly sliced, use uncured if possible)
- Shredded cheese (Parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Optional: Crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of extra grated Parmesan for topping.
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. - Arrange the Pepperoni:
Lay the pepperoni slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each slice. - Top with Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheese over each pepperoni slice. Be generous but ensure the cheese doesn’t completely spill off the edges. - Optional Toppings:
If desired, add crumbled bacon or a touch of grated Parmesan for added flavor. - Bake:
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the pepperoni edges are crispy. - Cool to Crisp:
Remove the tray from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. They’ll firm up as they cool. - Serve:
Enjoy as a crunchy snack or dip them in carnivore-friendly sauces like sour cream, melted cheese, or a whipped liver pâté.
Storage Tip:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, pop them in the oven or air fryer for 1–2 minutes.
