Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Substitute with gouda or provolone if desired)
- 1 cup Almond Flour (Coconut flour can be used but may require adjustments)
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (No substitutions recommended)
- 1 large Egg (Ensure at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning (Customize with favorite herbs)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic can be used)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust according to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Adjust according to taste)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup Sugar-Free Pizza Sauce (Consider marinara or ranch for variety)
- Sliced Pepperoni (Optional, for additional flavor)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Optional, can swap with any cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the chips cook evenly and do not stick.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in the sliced pepperoni and shredded cheddar cheese if using. This adds extra flavor and richness to the chips but is optional depending on your preference.
- Shape Chips: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Flatten each ball gently into chip-like rounds to create thin, crispy textures after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they firm up further. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sugar-free pizza sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the egg is at room temperature to help the dough bind better.
- Almond flour is preferred for texture, but coconut flour may be used with recipe adjustments.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- For extra crispiness, flip the chips halfway through baking.
