You might think that there is one way to make these pepperoni chips but you can change things up when you are making this tasty keto snack.

First, you can use a different type of pepperoni. If you want a spicier chip, then you could use hot pepperoni. Or, if you want a sweeter flavor, then you could use sweet Italian sausage.

Second, you can add different seasonings to the chips before baking them. You could add garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.

Third, you can change up the dipping sauce. Instead of using ranch, you could use BBQ sauce, ketchup, or even chocolate dip.

Another ideas is if you want to make these chips more like nachos, then you could add shredded cheese on top before baking them.

Lastly, you could also make these into bite-sized chips by cutting the pepperoni into smaller pieces before baking them.

• For the easiest clean up, place a piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
• Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. You want the pepperoni chips to be in a single layer so that they bake evenly.
• If you want extra crunchy chips, then bake them for a few minutes longer. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
• If using a log of pepperoni, for an easy way to cut the pepperoni, use a pizza cutter.
• Use pre-sliced pepperoni.
