TIPS & TRICKS

Look at this GIGANTIC Parmesan chip. Yep, it is as big as my little one's face.

I experimented with 2 different sizes of sliced pepperoni.  The sandwich size has a better look in presentation.  Due to its size, the flavor is more intense.  To some people, that intense flavor could be too much to handle.

The regular size which is usually served with pizza definitely much smaller.  If you follow this recipe, you will realize that those small chips piling together can make a small mound.  Besides, the flavor is milder which is widely accepted by most people.

I remember when I first made the Parmesan chips, I used the powder kind where you can get it in the pasta aisle.  Well, before the cook time over, I smelled something burning in the oven.  So, I learned my lesson in a hard way.  Use the Parmesan cheese where they sell it in the produce asile.  Use the real cheese and you will get lovely and nutty flavored Parmesan chips. 

My 8-year-old loves these chips so much.  I once combined about 10-12 tsp of Parmesan cheese and spread it out evenly on a 13"x9" baking pan to make a gigantic Parmesan chip.  So, this is one fun thing you can do with your little one(s). Or have them to help you to put the ingredients on the baking sheets.

Another great thing about these chips is that....their crispness does last quite a while which is perfect for entertaining.

Used the sandwich size ones to make these Pepperoni chips

Pepperoni and Parmesan Chips Recipe and Directions

Ingredients

30 Slices Pepperoni (pre-sliced; I prefer to use the size that we always use on pizza)

Parchment paper

Directions

2. Line each baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Single layer pepperoni slices on 1 baking sheet; allow about 1” space around each slice.
4. On another baking sheet, add shredded Parmesan cheese and slightly flatten the mounds; allow 1” space around each mound.
5. Put both baking sheets into the oven at the same time and bake 12-15 minutes.
6. Transfer pepperoni chips to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the extra grease.
7. Transfer both pepperoni and Parmesan chips to a serving plate and serve immediately.
