🍕 Pizza Chips Recipe

🌟 Introduction

Pizza Chips are the ultimate snack for pizza lovers who want all the flavor of pizza in a crunchy, cheesy, bite-sized form. These little delights are made by baking or air-frying cheese with Italian seasoning until it transforms into crispy chips. They’re low-carb, keto-friendly, and perfect for dipping into marinara sauce. Loved by both kids and adults, Pizza Chips are a quick fix for cravings and a healthier alternative to processed chips.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture works best)
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Optional toppings: pepperoni minis, red chili flakes, or garlic powder
  • Optional dips: marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Scoop small spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on the baking sheet, flattening slightly into rounds. Leave enough space for spreading.
  5. (Optional) Place a mini pepperoni slice or sprinkle extra seasoning on top.
  6. Bake for 7–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
  8. Serve with your favorite dip, or enjoy plain for a cheesy crunch.

📜 History

The concept of cheese chips originated from keto and low-carb communities, who wanted alternatives to bread and traditional chips. By using baked cheese, snack lovers recreated the crunch of chips without carbs. Pizza-flavored versions soon followed, inspired by Italy’s most iconic dish. Today, Pizza Chips are popular worldwide as a fun, fusion-style snack.
