Ingredients
24 slices pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Pizza sauce for dipping
Instruction

Season with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crispy around the edges.

Method
The cheese melts and crisps in the oven, creating crunchy pizza-style chips. Pepperoni becomes slightly crispy while parmesan adds extra flavor and texture. Cooling after baking helps the chips firm up perfectly.
