Tips and Tricks

For the best results, make sure your shredded mozzarella cheese is at room temperature. This helps the cheese melt more evenly, ensuring a crispier chip.
Drop each scoop of cheese about an inch apart on your baking sheet to make sure the cheese crisps up individually rather than forming one big cheese puddle.
Want to add a bit more flavor? Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella before baking. The parmesan gives these chips an extra savory kick, similar to a cheesy garlic bread flavor. You could also add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder!
If you’re short on time, you can make these pepperoni chips in an air fryer. Simply set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese crisps are golden and crispy.
If you have any leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container for 1-2 days. To reheat, just pop them back in the oven or air fryer for a couple of minutes to bring back that crispy texture.
