KETO PIZZA CHIPS 

These crispy keto pizza chips are a super-easy low-carb snack made from cheese, pepperoni, and seasonings. They taste like mini pizzas but with almost zero carbs, making them perfect for keto, low-carb, and gluten-free diets.

INGREDIENTS

Base (per tray):

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese

  • 12–18 mini pepperoni slices (regular works too—just cut smaller)

  • 1–2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes

  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning (seen in the picture)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare your tray

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper — do NOT skip this or the cheese will stick.

3. Form the chips

Place 1–1½ tbsp mounds of shredded cheese onto the sheet, spacing them apart (they spread).

Flatten them slightly.

4. Add toppings

Place 1–2 mini pepperoni slices on each mound.

Sprinkle with:

  • Parmesan

  • Italian seasoning

  • Garlic powder

  • Crushed red pepper

  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

5. Bake

Bake for 7–10 minutes or until edges are golden and crisp.

6. Cool

Let cool completely on the sheet (they crisp as they cool).

7. Serve

Serve as-is, or dip in sugar-free marinara or ranch.

NOTES

  • For extra crunch, bake an additional 1–2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.

  • Mozzarella gives the best crispiness; cheddar works but spreads more.

  • If using regular pepperoni, cut into smaller pieces so chips stay flat.

TIPS

  • Air Fryer Method: 380°F for 6–8 minutes.

  • For spicy chips, add cayenne or extra chili flakes.

  • Want thicker chips? Use more cheese per mound.

  • Add a touch of pizza sauce on top after baking for flavor without sogginess.

BENEFITS

  • Keto-friendly (very low carb)

  • High-protein & high-fat for steady energy

  • Gluten-free

  • Quick (10 minutes total)

  • Great snack for cravings without cheating the diet

  • Kids love them too

Q&A for Keto Pizza Chips

Q1: Can I store these for later?

Yes — store in an airtight container for 2–3 days. Re-crisp in the oven for 2–3 minutes.

Q2: Can I freeze them?

You can, but texture is slightly softer after thawing. Reheat in air fryer for best results.

Q3: Why did my chips not get crispy?

  • Not baked long enough

  • Too much cheese in each mound

  • Oven not fully preheated

Q4: Can I use different toppings?

Yes! Try:

  • Jalapeños

  • Cooked bacon bits

  • Black olives

  • Diced bell pepper

Q5: Can I make them dairy-free?

Hard to replicate — dairy-free cheese usually doesn’t crisp well.
