Keto Pepperoni Cheese Crisps

These Pepperoni Cheese Crisps are my go-to snack when I need something quick, crispy, and packed with savory flavor. I first whipped these up while experimenting with keto-friendly snack ideas, and now I make them regularly. They take just 15 minutes and only three ingredients to deliver perfectly crispy, cheesy bites.


Why You’ll Love These Crisps

Once you try one, you won’t be able to stop! These crisps are:

  • Crispy and loaded with rich, savory flavor
  • Perfect on their own or served with dips, soups, or salads
  • Naturally low carb and gluten-free
  • So easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients

3 Simple Ingredients

  • Cheddar cheese: ⅓ cup, grated. Brings a sharp, rich flavor.
  • Mozzarella cheese: ⅓ cup, grated. Adds stretchy texture and golden brown edges.
  • Pepperoni slices: 12, used as the base for each crisp.

How to Make Pepperoni Cheese Crisps

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your crisps bake evenly and get perfectly golden.

2. Arrange the Pepperoni
Place one pepperoni slice into each cup of a non-stick muffin tin. These will form the flavorful base.

3. Add the Cheese
In a small bowl, mix the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses together. Sprinkle a spoonful over each pepperoni slice, pressing it down gently while avoiding the edges.

4. Bake
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges turn golden and crisp.

5. Cool
Let the crisps rest in the tin for 5 minutes to firm up before removing. This helps them set into the perfect crunchy texture.


Flavor Twists & Customizations

  • Cheese swaps: Try Parmesan, Monterey Jack, or Gouda for different flavors.
  • Mini pepperoni: Great for bite-sized snacks.
  • Extra crispy: Bake 1–2 minutes longer if you prefer an ultra-crunchy texture.

Serving Ideas Serve with marinara, ranch, or spicy mustard for dipping. Crumble over soups or salads for added crunch. Great for keto-friendly platters or last-minute party snacks!


Storage Tips Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, place in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.


Frequently Asked Questions

How long do these crisps last?
Up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.

Can I make these without pepperoni?
Yes! Cheese-only crisps are just as delicious and still keto-friendly.

Why aren’t my crisps getting crispy?
Make sure the oven is fully preheated and allow the crisps to cool in the pan. Bake a minute or two longer if needed.

How can I keep them from sticking?
Use a good-quality non-stick muffin tin and allow the crisps to cool before removing.
