FAQs
Can I make these pizza chips in an air fryer?
Yes, air fry them at 190°C (375°F) for about 4 to 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
Are these pizza chips keto-friendly?
Yes, they are low in carbohydrates and suitable for most keto or low-carb diets.
What cheese works best for this recipe?
Mozzarella melts smoothly and gives a classic pizza flavor, but other low-moisture cheeses also work.
Can I use pre-sliced cheese instead of shredded?
Shredded cheese works best for even melting, but finely chopped slices can be used if needed.
How do I make them extra crispy?
Let the chips cool slightly after baking, as they crisp up more while resting.
Can I add vegetables on top?
Because the chips are small, finely diced vegetables can be added sparingly, but they may release moisture.
Do I need oil or cooking spray?
No, the pepperoni and cheese release enough fat to prevent sticking when using parchment paper.
Are these good for kids?
