How to Make Pepperoni Parmesan Crisps

You can vary the cheese to change the flavor — Parmesan, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Grana Padano all work well. Use finely grated cheese so it melts evenly over each pepperoni slice. Cooking times will depend on pepperoni size and thickness, so watch them closely and adjust to reach your preferred level of crispness. Keep in mind they will firm up slightly as they cool.

Can you make these ahead of time?

Yes. These crisps store best for up to 24 hours.

  • Allow the crisps to cool completely; warm chips can become soggy in storage.
  • As they cool they dry out and become crisp.
  • Place a paper towel in a bowl and arrange the chips on top to absorb excess oil.
  • Loosely cover the bowl with foil to allow some air circulation so the crisps stay dry.
  • Store up to 24 hours for best texture; they’re freshest when eaten the same day.
