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 Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar-Free Pizza Sauce (consider marinara or ranch for variety)
- Sliced Pepperoni (for additional flavor)
- 1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (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 prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms, indicating all ingredients are well integrated.
- Add Optional Flavors: Fold in optional sliced pepperoni and shredded cheddar cheese if using. This step adds enhanced flavor and texture to the pizza chips.
- Shape Chips: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough, place them onto the prepared baking sheet, and flatten each ball gently into chip-like rounds, ensuring uniform thickness for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the shaped chips in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they crisp up further before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use almond flour for best texture; coconut flour may require recipe adjustments.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better dough consistency.
- Customize seasoning with herbs you prefer like oregano or basil.
- Optional ingredients like pepperoni and cheddar cheese add extra flavor but can be omitted for a simpler chip.
- Serve with sugar-free pizza sauce or ranch for dipping to keep it low-carb.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
