Ingredients
Scale
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place 12 pepperoni slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Top each pepperoni slice with about 1 teaspoon of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle a small amount of dried oregano over the cheese, if using.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the pepperoni are curled and crisp.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately place a second pepperoni slice on top of the melted cheese mixture to create a sandwich crisp.
- Gently press down on the top pepperoni slice with a spatula to adhere it to the cheese base.
- Let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Carefully transfer the cooled crisps to a wire rack to finish cooling and crisping before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place a second piece of parchment paper and a second baking sheet on top of the crisps while they cool to flatten them slightly.
- You can use an air fryer; cook at 375°F (190°C) for 4 to 6 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve with a side of sugar-free ranch or marinara sauce for dipping.
