PEPPERONI CHIPS



Pepperoni Chips image

Crisp little chips of pepperoni that are an excellent snack with beer or even a glass of wine. They are quite addictive. From World Wide Recipes. UPDATE (10-27-06): I have always purchased Hormell pepperoni, but recently tried an off brand and found that they burned very quickly when I baked them. The length of time for baking will depend on your oven and the pepperoni. You will need to adjust to find the proper time for you...it could be up to 20 minutes.

1 teaspoon dried oregano
Warmed pizza sauce, for dipping

Steps:

AIR FRYER PEPPERONI CHIPS



Air Fryer Pepperoni Chips image

Great on their own as a snack or an excellent tool for your favorite dip. My favorite dip to pair these with is spinach and artichoke dip. I also like to use them as a replacement for croutons in a salad. You get that crunch and they have so much flavor you can cut back on the dressing as well.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pepperoni: Look for pepperoni that is made with real pork or beef and has a good amount of fat content. This will help the pepperoni to crisp up nicely in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the pepperoni: This will help to prevent the pepperoni from tearing or crumbling.
  • Arrange the pepperoni slices in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pepperoni at a high temperature: This will help to create crispy pepperoni chips.
  • Keep an eye on the pepperoni while it is baking: They can burn quickly, so it is important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are crispy.
  • Let the pepperoni chips cool completely before serving: This will help them to crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni crisps are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, game days, or just a quick snack.
