Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Lay the 14 slices of pepperoni in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced slightly apart so that they don't stick together as they melt.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the pepperoni slices. Follow this by equally sprinkling the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Try to keep the cheese mostly on the pepperoni slices to ensure it melts and crisps properly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and has a golden, crispy texture. Keep a close eye on them, as cheese can go from melted to burnt quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the keto pizza chips to cool for a few minutes. This helps them crisp up and makes them easier to handle.
Once cooled, gently remove the keto pizza chips from the parchment paper using a spatula. Serve them immediately for maximum crunchiness.

Perfect for satisfying those pizza cravings, they are sure to become a favorite in your low-carb recipe collection. Enjoy them on their own or pair with a keto-friendly dipping sauce for an extra treat.
