Ingredients
  

1 package (approximately 10 oz) round tortilla chips

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating up, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Arrange the Tortilla Chips: Lay the round tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer. Make sure the chips don’t overlap to allow them to cook evenly.

      Sprinkle the Cheese: Generously cover each chip with shredded mozzarella cheese. Make sure to distribute the cheese evenly over the chips for that authentic pizza flavor.

        Add the Pepperoni: On top of each chip, place about 2-3 slices of pepperoni, depending on your taste preference. This will provide a hearty, meaty flavor. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to enhance the cheesy crunch.

          Seasoning Time: In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if you like some heat). Evenly sprinkle this aromatic blend over the cheese and pepperoni on the chips for an added flavor boost.

            Bake the Chips: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the chips turn a golden brown.

              Let Them Cool: Once baked to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes on the sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve these warm, crispy pepperoni pizza chips alongside a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Relish in the deliciousness of your snack-worthy pizza chips!
