# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes until the seasonings are thoroughly distributed.
03 -
Spoon approximately 15 grams of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each mound slightly and spacing them at least 5 centimeters apart.
04 -
Top each cheese disc with one or two mini pepperoni slices and, if desired, small amounts of optional toppings such as bell peppers or olives. Press lightly to adhere.
05 -
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown. Observe closely in the final minutes to avoid over-browning.
06 -
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the chips cool on the tray for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack, allowing them to crisp fully.
07 -
Present the chips warm or at room temperature alongside marinara, garlic butter, ranch, or spicy aioli for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure sufficient spacing between cheese mounds to allow for spreading and optimal crispness.
