Why You’ll Love These Pizza Chips
The beauty of this recipe is in its genius simplicity—two ingredients, no fuss, and zero compromise on flavor.

They’re naturally low-carb and gluten-free, making them perfect for a wide range of eaters.

What You’ll Need
You truly only need two ingredients, but quality matters for the ultimate flavor. Choose your favorite pre-shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese blend, and the best round slices of pepperoni you can find.
For prep work, a sturdy set of Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 ensures you keep things tidy while handling cheese and meat. And to make cleanup effortless, line your air fryer basket with Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature so your cheese won’t stick as it turns golden.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or pizza cheese blend
- 10-12 slices of pepperoni
Optional for dipping: marinara or ranch sauce
How to Make 2 Ingredient Pizza Chips
1. **Prep the Air Fryer**
Place an air fryer paper liner or a cut-to-size sheet from a Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet in your air fryer basket for easy cleanup. Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer to 375°F.
2. **Assemble Your Chips**
On your bamboo cutting board, arrange small mounds of shredded cheese—about 1 tablespoon each—leaving space between each so they can spread. Top each cheese mound with a slice of pepperoni.
3. **Air Fry**
Transfer the cheese and pepperoni piles (with their parchment underneath) to your preheated air fryer, working in batches if needed. Cook for 5-7 minutes. The cheese will bubble, crisp, and turn a deep golden brown, forming perfect pizza-flavored chips.
4. **Cool and Serve**
Let the chips rest on the liner for 2-3 minutes to crisp up fully before serving. For a quick party display or to-go snack, arrange in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green.
Serving & Snacking Tips
These pizza chips are delicious solo, but they’re even better when dunked in warmed marinara sauce or your favorite ranch dip. For a party, pile a platter high and watch them disappear—no one can resist that pizza aroma or the fun, crunchy texture.
Turn them into a next-level snack box by pairing with cut raw veggies and extra dipping sauces, or crumble them over salads or pastas for a cheesy, pepperoni-packed crunch.
