Low Carb 4-Ingredient Pepperoni Roxbury Crisps
Servings: 4
Ingredients
24 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet or small foil tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Arrange the pepperoni slices on the prepared tray, leaving a little space between them, then top each slice with a small mound of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
3. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over the tops, then bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden and the pepperoni edges are crisp.
4. Let the crisps cool for 2 to 3 minutes so they firm up, then carefully lift them off the tray and serve warm.
Variations & Tips
Kid-Friendly Version: If your family prefers milder flavors, leave off the Italian seasoning and use plain mozzarella and Parmesan. The crisps will still turn out cheesy, salty, and delicious for picky eaters.
Extra Crispy Tip: For a firmer, crunchier texture, let the crisps cool completely on the tray for a few extra minutes before moving them. That short rest helps the cheese set up and makes them easier to pick up.
Mini Pizza Style: Serve the crisps with a little warm marinara on the side for dipping so they taste like tiny crustless pizzas. This is always a fun option for party trays and family snack boards.
Cheese Swap: You can use all Parmesan for a deeper savory flavor and a lace-like texture, or use a little less mozzarella if you want the pepperoni to stay the star. Just keep the cheese in small mounds so the crisps hold their shape.
